Words similar to cytogenetic
Example sentences for: cytogenetic
How can you use “cytogenetic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), a molecular cytogenetic method that identifies chromosomal gains and losses, and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies have also demonstrated recurrent deletions on the 5p in precancerous lesions [ 7 8 9 10 ] . Although, these studies have identified 5p as a commonly affected region, the precise site of deletion that harbor putative TSG is unknown because of the lack of systematic and detailed deletion mapping studies.
Frequent cytogenetic abnormalities suggest that tumor-modifying genes (oncogenes or tumor suppressors) may be driving selection for the amplification or deletion of these particular genetic regions [ 6, 11, 12, 34, 35, 36].
It is also possible that biological mechanisms other than cytogenetic change could influence expression in large genomic regions and produce regional gene-expression biases.
As only 4 of the 104 (4%) samples analyzed scored positive for HCV infection, we could not use this dataset to detect significant cytogenetic differences between HCV-infected verses HBV-infected individuals (data not shown).
If CGH data are not available for a particular cancer type, but gene-expression profiling data are, then CGMA could allow rapid prediction of the cytogenetic abnormalities that frequently occur within that cancer type.
