Background:
There are discrepancies in data of genome-wide microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Variations in ethnic background, life style, presence of chemotherapy, and regions of SCCHN may explain the results.
Methods:
Considering the variations, we performed CGH in Korean laryngeal SCC (LSCC) tissues (N=16).
Results:
We found gains of amplification at 7q35 and 8q24 and losses at 1p21, 2q21, 17q12, and 3p22-26 in 40-50% of the cases. The regions of losses at 3p22-26 contain no known tumor suppressor gene. However, XPC, a key gene in DNA repair pathway, is identified at 3p22-25.
Conclusion:
Our finding strongly suggests that chromosome 3p22-p26 region harbor critical gene(s) including XPC associated with risk for LSCC.

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
