ABSTRACT
Comparative genomic hybridization serves as a screening test for regions of copy number changes in tumor genomes. We have applied the technique to map DNA gains and losses in 33 cases of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded primary breast tumors (13 fibroadenomas and 10 diploid and 10 aneuploid carcinomas). No genomic imbalances were found in fibroadenomas. Recurrent findings in adenocarcinomas include copy number increases for chromosomes 1q (14 of 20 samples), 8q (10 of 20), 17q (5 of 20), 6p (3 of 20), 13q (3 of 20), and 16p (3 of 20), and copy number decreases for chromosomes 22 (7 of 20), 17p (6 of 20), and 20 (3 of 20). Regional high level copy number increases were observed on chromosome bands 1q32, 8p11, 8q24, 10p, 11q13, 12p, 12q15, 17q11-12, and 17q22-24. The majority of the samples were studied for gene amplification of c-myc, c-erbB2, cycD1, and int-2 by means of Southern blot analysis. The comparison with DNA ploidy measurements revealed a different distribution and a significantly higher number of chromosomal aberrations in aneuploid tumors than in diploid tumors and in fibroadenomas.
