Spectral Karyotyping Analysis of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

Spectral karyotyping analysis reveals the true complexity of chromosomal aberrations in cell lines derived from head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. The use of SKY, in combination with other techniques, may allow for a more complete assessment of the genetic abnormalities of head and neck cancers and serve as a starting point for gene identification.
