Project description:41 lung adenocarcinoma from never-smokers hybridized on Illumina SNP arrays on 13 HumanCNV370-Quadv3 chips. High-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization analysis of lung adenocarcinoma in 41 never smokers for identification of new minimal common regions (MCR) of gain or loss. The SNP array analysis validated copy-number aberrations and revealed that RB1 and WRN were altered by recurrent copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity.The present study has uncovered new aberrations containing cancer genes. The oncogene FUS is a candidate gene in the 16p region that is frequently gained in never smokers. Multiple genetic pathways defined by gains of MYC, deletions of RB1 and WRN or gains on 7p and 7q are involved in lung adenocarcinoma in never smokers. A 'Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs' (CIT) project from the French National League Against Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net) 41 samples hybridized on Illumina SNP arrays.

Project description:Using data from high-density genomic profiling arrays, we investigated the profiles of somatic copy-number aberrations (SCNAs) in 659 gastric adenocarcinomas drawn approximately even numbers of Asian and Western patients with two goals in mind: (1) using the power of our large data set to detect new, and refine existing, regions of significantly recurring SCNAs; (2) determining if there exist fundamental differences in the manifestation of gastric adenocarcinoma in Asian versus Western patients that affect pattern of SCNAs. Among the 83 regions of significant alteration we indeed found some new targets in gastric adenocarcinoma such as the tumor suppressor gene SMARCA4 and proto-oncogene MYB, and additionally refined the boundaries of known significant regions. We found only slight differences in the overall copy number patterns between Asian and Western gastric adenocarcinoma patients indicating that the disease is fundamentally similar in both populations and the divergent clinical outcomes cannot be ascribed to different underlying SCNAs. The 111 copy number profiles contained in this archive are the previously unpublished portion of our study.
