(Submitter supplied) Primary brain tumors are the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality in adults under the age of 54 years and the leading cause of cancer mortality in children in the United States. Therapy for the most common type of primary brain tumors, gliomas, remains suboptimal. The development of new and more effective treatments will likely require a better understanding of the biology of these tumors. Here, we show that use of the high-density 100K single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays in a large number of primary tumor samples allows for a much higher resolution survey of the glioma genome than has been previously reported in any tumor type. more...

(Submitter supplied) Affymetrix submissions are typically submitted to GEO using the GEOarchive method described at http://0-www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.brum.beds.ac.uk/projects/geo/info/geo_affy.html The GeneChip® Mapping 100K Set is the first in a family of products for whole-genome association studies. It is comprised of a set of two arrays that enable genotyping of greater than 100,000 SNPs with a single primer. copy number analysis mean marker distance of 26 kb provides both copy number and allele specific information Protocol: see manufacturer's web site
