Abstract
Like most human cancers, oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is characterized by genetic instabilities. In this study, a single platform (Affymetrix 10K SNP mapping array) was used to generate both loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and DNA copy number abnormality (CNA) read-outs for precise and high-resolution genetic alteration profiles. As a proof of principle, we performed this concordant analysis on a panel of deletion and trisomy cell lines with known chromosomal alterations and the precise LOH and CNA regions were detected as expected. Using a previously described oral SCC progression model system, we identified a set of genomic regions that may be associated with the malignancy progression, including chromosome regions 3pter-3p35.3, 3p14.1-3p13, 11p, 11q14.3-11q22.2, and 11q13.5-11q14.1. These data show that it is feasible to utilize high-density SNP arrays to generate concordant LOH and CNA profiles at high resolution.
