Abstract
The order of appearance of different genetic aberrations during the shift from diploidy/near‐diploidy to aneuploidy in colorectal cancers is not yet clear. We studied genetic alterations in flow cytometrically‐sorted DNA diploid and corresponding aneuploid epithelial cell populations from each of 20 colorectal tumors using comparative genomic hybridization, FISH, and PCR. Analysis of the 19 cases in which aberrations were found in the flow‐sorted diploid population indicated that large‐scale aneuploidization in colorectal cancer was preceded by amplification of oncogene(s) localized to chromosome 20q13.2 and by KRAS mutations, but not by TP53 deletions or losses of large chromosomal regions such as 4q, 8p and 18q. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Many hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancers (CRCs) cannot be explained by Lynch syndrome. Other high penetrance genetic risk factors are likely to play a role in these mismatch repair (MMR)‐proficient CRC families. Because genomic profiles of CRC tend to vary with CRC susceptibility
We performed a comparative genomic hybridization study on 25 samples of adenocarcinoma and 19 samples of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung to detect recurrent changes in the genetic material. DNA copy number changes were found in 16 squamous cell carcinoma samples and 17 adenocarcinoma samples. Th
