Zusammenfassung
Classical Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) has been used to identify recurrent genomic alterations in human HCC. Since hepatocarcinogenesis is considered a step-wise process, we applied oncogenetic tree modeling on all currently available classical CGH data to determine occurrence of genetic alterations over time. Nine losses (1p, 4q, 6q, 8p, 9p, 13q, 16p, 16q, 17p) and ten gains (1q, 5p, 6p, 7p, 7q, 8q, 17q, 20p, 20q, Xq) of genomic information were detected in more than 10% of cases and were selected to build the oncogenetic tree model. Whereas gains of 1q and 8q together with losses of 8p formed a clus…
