Transcription profiling of human adult male germ cell tumours

ABSTRACT: Expression profiling of a panel of 101 adult male germ cell tumors and 5 normal testis specimens was performed on Affymetrix U133A and U133B microarrays. This data has been used to:; 1) generate a gene classifier that predicts histology (see PMID 15870693). 2) identify candidate target genes on 12p, a region that is gained in almost 100% of germ cell tumors (see PMID 16424014); 3) identify pluripotency associated genes through comparison of pluripotent embryonal carcinoma vs. undifferentiated seminoma. ONGOING:; 4) Identification of genes associated with patient outcome and cisplatin resistance. Experiment Overall Design: Tumor tissues were collected under IRB-approved protocols at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, between 1987 and 1999. The tumor samples consist of 17
