摘要: Chromosome region 17q12-23 commonly shows an increase in DNA copy number breast cancers, suggesting that several oncogenes are located at this site. We performed a high-resolution expression array and comparative genomic hybridization analysis of genes mapped to the entire region, identify novel candidate oncogenes. identified 24 showed significant overexpression cancers with gain 17q12-23, compared without gain. These included previously oncogenes, together FISH using specific gene probes hybridized tissue arrays confirmed underlying amplification overexpressed genes. This indicates established including Wnt-signaling pathway member, amplified within individual primary cancer samples. were also able confirm presence two apparently separate reciprocally groups region. Investigation these their functional interactions will facilitate our understanding oncogenesis optimal management disease.
