Chromosome Terms

• Whole chromosome, chromosome arm, chromosome band (human or mouse)
• Each chromosome term must have one of the following prefixes:
  + (gain), ++ (high gain)
  - (loss), -- (low loss)
  Examples: +3 ++8q24 +9A1 (mouse band)
  

  A search for gain brings up high gain also, but searching for high gain is restricted to high gain only; a search for loss brings up low loss also, but searching for low loss is restricted to low loss only.

• The chromosome field works only for the Public Cases.

  Since the CGH data in the private format is more subject to revision, these cases are not converted into a chromosome-searchable format until they are made public. Submitters should be familiar enough with their own data to select cases of interest for CGH comparison.

Text Terms

You can enter a single topic, or any combination of topics in any order. Separate each topic by a space, without punctuation (i.e., do not use commas).

NB: Multiple topics can be combined in a single search, but only one site (tissue) and one diagnosis can be searched at a time. However, a search of a particular site may bring up multiple diagnoses and vice versa. If search for a specific site brings up other sites, it indicates that, for those cases, this tissue has been listed as a metastatic site (see "Case Details" for those cases).
