Project description:Genomic and expression profiling using 38K BAC array-CGH and Illumina HT-12 beadchips were performed on 97 diploid invasive breast tumors to assess the impact of gene dosage on gene expression patterns and the effect of other mechanisms on transcriptional levels. Patient stratification was performed according to axillary lymph node status (node-negative, pN0; node-positive, pN1) and overall survival (>8-year survivors; breast cancer-specific mortality within 8 years of diagnosis). Array-CGH results was validated by FISH using tumors showing HER2/neu gene amplification and expression profiling was confirmed using qPCR for 16 transcripts. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE20462: Clinical implications of gene dosage and gene expression patterns in diploid breast carcinoma (transcriptomic profiling) GSE20483: Clinical implications of gene dosage and gene expression patterns in diploid breast carcinoma (CGH) Refer to individual Series

Array-CGH results was validated by FISH using tumors showing HER2/neu gene amplification and expression profiling was confirmed using qPCR for 16 transcripts. Genomic DNA was isolated from fresh-frozen tissue samples
Project description:Transcriptomic profiling of human breast tumors. Genomic and expression profiling using 38K BAC array-CGH and Illumina HT-12 beadchips were performed on 53 invasive breast tumors to assess the impact of gene dosage on gene expression patterns and the effect of other mechanisms on transcriptional levels. Array-CGH results was validated by FISH using tumors showing 8p11-p12 DNA amplification and expression profiling was confirmed using qPCR for 11 transcripts. Low-level gain, high-level gain/amplification, heterozygous loss and homozygous deletion (henceforth referred to as gain, amplification, loss and deletion) were defined as log2 ratio thresholds set at +0.2, >= +0.5, -0.2 and <=-1.0, respectively.
Project description:SNP6 profiling of metaplastic breast carcinoma Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a rare and aggressive histologic type of breast cancer, preferentially displaying a triple-negative phenotype (i.e. lacking estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and HER2 expression). We sought to define the transcriptomic heterogeneity of MBCs on the basis of current gene expression microarray-based classifiers and to determine whether MBCs display gene copy number profiles consistent with those of BRCA1-associated breast cancers.
