Identification of novel copy number alterations by high-resolution aCGH from FFPE cutaneous melanoma samples
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We investigated a cohort of 34 archival cutaneous melanoma samples by Agilent 40 kb-resolution CGH array. We found a non-random distribution of precise CNAs predictive for clinical outcome. Although most of the alterations defined in this study have been already reported, we mapped novel melanoma-specific CNAs at highest accuracy. Moreover, our data revealed distinct amplifications hotspots, some of which were validated by quantitative real-time PCR, enabling the identification of novel melanoma oncogenic candidates.
