Comparative genomic hybridization by array of blasts and normal cells from acute myeloid leukemia patients to study germinal copy number variants as potential disease risk factors
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Except for the well-known association with Down syndrome, there is little information on the genetic factors predisposing to acute myeloid leukemia. Germinal gene copy-number variations may represent risk factors for the disease. To identify copy number variants present in both normal and leukemic cells, we compared the Comparative Genomic Hybridization profiles of the blasts and healthy cells (CD3+ cells or peripheral lymphocytes during remission) of 13 patients (SET-A) and the blasts of a further 12 normal-karyotype acute myeloid leukemia patients (SET-B) for which only blasts DNA were available.
