“…In all, novel sequences were detected. Interestingly, some of these regions (1q41, 7p22, 8p11.23, 8q13.1, 8q22.3, 10q21.3, 10q24.32, 19q13.1, 20p11.23) have been described as amplified sequences in other human malignancies (Bruch et al, 1998;Curtis et al, 1998;Du Plessis et al, 1999;Larramendy et al, 2000;Pimkhaokham et al, 2000;Tang et al, 2002;Dai et al, 2003;Lukasova et al, 2004;Rao et al, 2004). The RLGS data does not allow us to discriminate between DNA copy number gains that have integrated at the location of the original sequence or extra DNA localized in extrachromosomal double minutes.…”
