In addition to the surprising revelation that our chromosomes harbor fewer genes than originally predicted, the Human Genome Project also unveiled that all individuals share approximately 99.9% of ...
In our laboratory, we have used HR-CGH as a screening method for cryptic chromosomal imbalances for several years. In an initial study, we found a cryptic chromosomal imbalance in 5 out of 50 patients ...
A frequent genetic alteration in papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) is rearrangement of the RET proto-oncogene, which has been assigned to chromosomal band 10q11.2 (Grieco et al., 1990; Pierotti et ...
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was developed to identify pathogenic DNA copy-number changes (e.g., duplications, deletions) on a genome-wide scale, and to map these changes to genomic ...
