Abstract

In most cancers, tumor cells frequently delete some chromosomes and duplicate others. This is called copy number variation (CNV). Normally, we expect deletions to cause decreases in protein production, and duplications to cause increases. To see if this is what happens in cancer, we identified common CNVs and studied their effects on protein production and patient survival.
