Abstract |
Recent advances in cytogenetics have provided an opportunity for improvement in the measurement of aneuploidy by comparative genomic hybridization methods. In this study, chromosomal number variation(CNV) detection for 12 human colorectal cancer DNA samples was tried. Total 82 CNV was found, 19 gains and 63 losses, which including 326 chromosomal number variation regions. These results lead us to future studies that will be required to ascertain the meaning of gains and losses of chromosomes. |
