Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE26667: Expression array using Maffucci tumours GSE26674: SNP array analysis on Maffucci tumours Refer to individual Series
Project description:We did whole genome analysis of enchondromas and chondrosarcomas of Maffucci patients. Since the disease is very rare, we had only three frozen tumour samples were available to continue with the expression array. Enchondromas of Maffucci syndrome did not show any loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or common copy number alterations (CNA) and we looked at the differentially expressed genes between Ollier high grade and Maffucci high grade tumours. There were no significant differentially expressed genes were found between these two groups. This might be due to the small sample size.

There were no significant differentially expressed genes were found between these two groups. This might be due to the small sample size. We used Affymetrix SNP 6.0 array on enchondromas (n=4) and chondrosarcomas (n=2) and compared the results to a previously studied cohort of patients with Ollier disease (n = 37). We used Illumina expression array v3 chip on enchondroma (n=1) and chondrosarcomas (n=2) from Maffucci patients.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
