Figure 5From: Ploidy status and copy number aberrations in primary glioblastomas defined by integrated analysis of allelic ratios, signal ratios and loss of heterozygosity using 500K SNP Mapping ArraysChromosomal CNAs demonstrating high polysomies. (A) For chromosome 7 in C72, the LR and AR patterns are consistent with segments of CN = 5 (AAABB), 6 (AAABBB) and 7 (AAAABBB) from left to right (as partitioned by the vertical lines). The corresponding log ratios are 0.15, 0.25 and 0.35, respectively. (B) For Chr:15 in C72, the AR patterns are consistent with segments of CN = 3 (AAB), 5 (AAABB), 4 (AABB) and 3 (AAB) from left to right. The corresponding log ratios are -0.2, +0.2, 0 and -0.2, respectively. Thus, the "copy neutral" LR of 0 actually represents a CN of 4.Back to article page
