Résumé

Genomic instability is a key feature of cancer. Chromosomal rearrangements and segmental DNA copy-number alterations in the tumor genome lead to aberrant gene expression pattern. Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) is a molecular cytogenetic technique designed to measure DNA copy-number status and identify segmental dosage alterations. The emergence of aCGH technology is placed into context in the evolution of molecular cytogenetics. The defining characteristics of contemporary genomic array platforms are reviewed, and the material considerations for using these platforms are explained. This chapter describes the development and current knowledge on aCGH technology and its role in cancer research and clinical diagnostics.
