Cancer is a disease of the genome, arising from various types of genomic changes that alter the behaviour of cells. A number of genomic and post-genomic studies have been conducted to provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of cancer. In this Genome Biology collection, we showcase recent efforts to provide a comprehensive perspective on cancer, including tumor initiation, metastasis, and drug resistance.
Which prognostic marker is responsible for the clinical heterogeneity in CLL with 13q deletion?
Deletion of 13q14 [del(13q)] is the most common cytogenetic change (50%) in chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL), and it is a good prognostic factor if it is detected as a sole aberration by FISH. However, it ...
