For solid tumors, at least, this is mainly attributed to the introduction of techniques, such as comparative genomic hybridization (CGH),1 which for the first time, enabled the analysis of chromosomal gains and losses without the necessity of preparing metaphase spreads from the specimen to be analyzed.
Each chromosomal gain or loss, genetic abnormality, or other mutagenic event contributes to the full context of a disease pathway, regardless of whether it's the first, second, or twentieth cumulative hit.
Agilent originally launched its breakthrough oligonucleotide (oligo) aCGH platform in January 2005, with a microarray for genome-wide scanning of chromosomal gains and losses on a single chip.
