Abstract:
With the development and application of microarray and high-throughput sequencing technology, it is possible to genomically scan breast cancer associated CNV and SNPs. Multiple researches showed that the frequent aberrance of 8q24 was associated with breast cancer. Oncogenes such as MYC, PSCA and breast cancer associated loci are located in 8q24, and frequent amplification of 8q24 was proposed to be related with breast cancer development and prognosis. This review summarizes the association of the 8q24 amplification and SNPs with breast cancer by correlated genes on this locus.
