Project name: Homo sapiens

Description: Integrated DNA and expression array analysis in primary human breast tumors identified chromosome 8q22 copy number gain and a suite of over-expressed genes in this region highly relevant to subsequent recurrence.8q copy gain is associated with increased risk of distant metastasis despite adjuvant chemotherapy and multiple genes from 8q22 are overexpressed and have pleiotropic effects, contributing to tumor growth, survival, and reduced killing of tumor cell by chemotherapy.Overall design: Affymetrix U133plus2 from 115 tumor patients

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate

Relevance: Medical
