Integration of DNA copy number alterations and transcriptional expression analysis in human gastric cancer. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Genomic instability with frequent DNA copy number alterations is one of the key hallmarks of carcinogenesis. The chromosomal regions with frequent DNA copy number gain and loss in human gastric cancer are still poorly defined.
