## Abstract Detailed analysis of mechanisms of genetic loss for specific tumor suppressor genes (TSGs; e.g., __RB1, APC__ and __NF1__) indicates that TSG inactivation can occur by allelic loss of heterozygosity (LOH), without any alteration in DNA copy number. However, the role and prevalence of su

A powerful way to identify driver genes with causal roles in carcinogenesis is to detect genomic regions that undergo frequent alterations in cancers. Here we identified 1,241 regions of somatic copy number alterations in 58 paired hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumors and adjacent nontumor tissues
## Abstract Combined analysis of gene expression array data and array‐based comparative genomic hybridization data have been used in a series of 26 pediatric brain tumors to define up‐ and downregulated genes that coincide with losses, gains, and amplifications involving specific chromosome regions
