Consistent anomalies observed in ET and BAT by a-CGH.

*<p>further amplification in ET, with respect to BAT.</p><p>In bold: anomalies limited to ETs.</p><p>In square bracket: genomic positions (according to NCBI 36 build) of the observed anomalies.</p><p>In round brackets: mosaicism degree of the observed anomaly. The percentage of abnormal cells was inferred using the formula proposed by Valli et al. That formula cannot be applied to the amplified segments (EGFR, CDK4, MDM2 and 15q24.1) since their ploidy status is unknown.</p
