RT Journal Article T1 DNA copy number variation and gene expression analyses reveal the implication of specific oncogenes and genes in GBM A1 Margareto, Javier A1 Leis, Olatz A1 Larrarte, Eider A1 Pomposo, Iñigo C. A1 Garibi, Jesús María A1 Lafuente, Jose Vicenté AB To understand the pathogenesis of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) we used high-resolution comparative genomic hybridization arrays and gene expression microarrays to identify DNA copy number alterations and gene expression changes in comparable sets of GBM samples. Gains were detected at chromosomes 1, 2, 7, 9, 12, 19, and 20 and losses at 6, 9, and 10. Gene expression analyses identified specific genes overexpressed in GBM mapping at amplified chromosomal regions. Among these genes we found genes involved in angiogenesis, extracellular matrix remodeling and several oncogenes. DNA copy number analysis along with gene expression profiles provides a powerful strategy to understand tumor progression and identification of genes involved in GBM pathogenesis.
