To compare the transcriptome profiles of the two principal histological variants of malignant germ cell tumor that occur in childhood Experiment Overall Design: Here, we analyzed the global gene expression profiles of 27 pediatric MGCTs from the two principal histologies (18 yolk sac tumors [YSTs] a...

Expression profiling of a panel of 101 adult male germ cell tumors and 5 normal testis specimens was performed on Affymetrix U133A and U133B microarrays. This data has been used to:; 1) generate a gene classifier that predicts histology (see PMID 15870693). 2) identify candidate target genes on 12p,...

Intracranial pediatric germ cell tumors (GCTs) have different histological differentiations, prognosis and clinical behaviors. Prognosis of patients with germinoma and mature teratoma is good, while patients with other types of GCTs, termed as nongerminomatous malignant germ cell tumors (NGMGCTs), r...

Representing a crucial factor during cell adhesion, polarity, proliferation and migration, the transmembrane protein claudin 6 (CLDN6) has been shown to be a putative target for the treatment of germ cell tumors (GCT). Particularly seminoma (SE), embryonal carcinoma (EC), and choriocarcinoma (CC) in...

Background: Germ Cell Cancers (GCC), originating from Primordial Germ Cells /gonocytes, are the most common cancer in young men, subdivided in seminoma (SE) and non-seminoma (NS, stem cell component: embryonal carcinoma (EC)). Somatic mutations are rarely found in GCC. It has been proposed that disr...

Chromosome substitution strains (CSS or consomic strains) are useful for mapping phenotypes to chromosomes. However, huge efforts are needed to identify the gene(s) responsible for the phenotype in the complex context of the chromosome. Here, we report the identification of candidate disease genes...

Type II germ cell tumors (GCTs) are the most common neoplasia in young men of age 14-45 years. It is generally accepted that GCTs arise from a common precursor lesion, called germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS), eventually developing into seminomas or non-seminomas, such as (embryonal carcinomas, EC...

This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE19347: microRNA expression data from pediatric primary intracranial germ cell tumor GSE19348: expression data from pediatric primary intracranial germ cell tumor GSE19349: Genotyping and analysis of chromosome copy number variation (CNV...

We performed comprehensive molecular profiling of germ cell tumors, including whole exome sequencing and transcriptome sequencing, derived from patient samples. This project additionally explores mechanisms of chemosensivity in these patients, as well as mechanisms of tumor evolution in the conte...

Genomic screening was performed for one family containing MZ twins with testicular germ cell tumors, in order to define alterations associated with risk of tumor development. Copy number alterations were evaluated using array-CGH (4x44K, Agilent Technologies) in one seminoma and one embryonal carcin...
