Progenetix - genomic copy number aberrations in cancer

Example: Regional genomic imbalances in subset 8982/3: Malignant myoepithelioma (19 cases)

The Progenetix database provides an overview of copy number abnormalities in human cancer from Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) experiments. As a curated database, it collects genomic gain/loss information of individual cancer and leukemia cases, published in peer reviewed journals.

29290 cases from 969 publications: Progenetix is with 20345 chromosomal CGH and 9061 genomic array experiments the largest public database for interpreted ("called") whole genome CGH profiles. The data covers 364 distinct diagnostic entities as classified according to the International Classification of Disease in Oncology (ICD-O 3).

Additionally, the website attempts to lists all publications referring to (a)CGH experiments. Progenetix users are encouraged to submit their (a)CGH data. Database & software are developed by the group of Michael Baudis at the University of Zurich.
