Colorectal cancer concurrent gene signature based on coherent patterns between genomic and transcriptional alterations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of the study was to enhance colorectal cancer prognostication by integrating single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and gene expression (GE) microarrays for genomic and transcriptional alteration detection; genes with concurrent gains and losses were used to develop a prognostic signature.

Methods

The discovery dataset comprised 32 Taiwanese colorectal cancer patients, of which 31 were assayed for GE and copy number variations (CNVs) with Illumina Human HT-12 BeadChip v4.0 and Omni 25 BeadChip v1.1. Concurrent gains and losses were declared if coherent manners were observed between GE and SNP arrays. Concurrent genes were also identified in The Cancer Genome Atlas Project (TCGA) as the secondary discovery dataset (n = 345).
