mammary carcinomas (breast cancer)
HER2 gene amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization and protein expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) have been used for prognosis and guiding treatment of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast with trastuzumab.
Accurate evaluation of HER2 status is important in the management of patients with candidacy for the HER2-targeting therapy.
Despite previous studies, effects of polysomy of chromosome 17, at which HER2 is located, on (...)

trisomy 9
19 January 2011AGCOH
Trisomy 9 occurs in a large spectrum of myeloid and lymphatic malignancies:
chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPD), especially to polycythemia vera (PV)
acute myeloid leukemias (AML)
myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) of B-lineage and of T-lineage.
Strong association to the chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPD) and especially to polycythemia vera (PV).

trisomy 19
1 April 2008AGCOH
Trisomy 19 is frequently encountered in cases of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) as a secondary abnormality: however, trisomy 19 rarely occurs as a sole chromosomal abnormality.
Trisomy 19 (+19) as a sole karyotypic aberration is strongly associated with myeloid disorder.
In a previously published literature review, among 31 patients with isolated +19, 25 were diagnosed with myeloid malignancy, including acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in 14 cases and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) (...) -

tumoral trisomy 21
29 May 2007Trisomy 21 as an acquired clonal chromosome change has been described in 642 of the 10,625 human neoplasms with chromosome aberrations known from the cytogenetic literature. A total of 590 of the 642 cases (92%) are hematologic disorders and malignant lymphomas.
The incidence of trisomy 21 is similar (4.1%-6.7%) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia, myeloproliferative disorders, myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic lymphoproliferative disorders, and malignant lymphomas; (...)
