Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma samples carrying different mutations. The Illumina Infinium EPIC Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles.
Project description:Until now, it is nearly impossible to diagnose malignancy of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma with pathological examinations. The aim of the study is to find the genes which can be applied as a biomarker in the clinic to distinguish benign and malignant forms of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma samples carrying different mutations. The Illumina Infinium EPIC Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs. The main goal of this project was to find specific methylation profiles associated to the presence of mutations in the different genetic sub-classes of pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas.

Project description:Cytogenetic analysis of 36 pheochromocytoma and four paraganglioma using high density arrays A series of 36 pheochromocytoma and four paraganglioma were analysed for genomic structural alterations using high density copy number arrays
Project description:A Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net):we explored DNA methylation patterns associated with PPGL malignancy using two large and well characterized cohorts of PPGL collected through a multi-institutional collaboration through the European Network for the Study of Adrenal Tumors (ENS@T).
