Predicting drug susceptibility of non-small cell lung cancers based on genetic lesions. (2009)

Sos, Martin L., Michel, Kathrin, Zander, Thomas, Weiss, Jonathan, Frommolt, Peter, Peifer, Martin, ...

Somatic genetic alterations in cancers have been linked with response to targeted therapeutics by creation of specific dependency on activated oncogenic signaling pathways. However, no tools...

Somatic mutations affect key pathways in lung adenocarcinoma (2008)

Ding, Li, Getz, Gad, Wheeler, David A., Mardis, Elaine R., McLellan, Michael D., Cibulskis, Kristian, ...

Determining the genetic basis of cancer requires comprehensive analyses of large collections of histopathologically well- classified primary tumours. Here we report the results of a collaborative...

Major copy proportion analysis of tumor samples using SNP arrays (2008)

Li, Cheng, Beroukhim, Rameen, Weir, Barbara A, Winckler, Wendy, Garraway, Levi A, Sellers, William R, ...

Abstract Background Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common genetic variations in the human genome and are useful as genomic markers. Oligonucleotide SNP microarrays have been...

Characterizing the cancer genome in lung adenocarcinoma (2007)

Weir, Barbara A., Woo, Michele S., Getz, Gad, Perner, Sven, Ding, Li, Beroukhim, Rameen, ...

Somatic alterations in cellular DNA underlie almost all human cancers(1). The prospect of targeted therapies(2) and the development of high-resolution, genome-wide approaches(3-8) are now spurring...

PLASQ: a generalized linear model-based procedure to determine allelic dosage in cancer cells from SNP array data (2007)

Laframboise, Thomas, Harrington, David, Weir, Barbara A.

Human cancer is largely driven by the acquisition of mutations. One class of such mutations is copy number polymorphisms, comprised of deviations from the normal diploid two copies of each autosomal...
