Allelic imbalance analysis of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma by high-density single nucleotide polymorphism arrays using whole-genome amplified DNA.
Multiple displacement-based whole-genome DNA amplification is a promising tool to obtain sufficient DNA from small tissue specimens for various genetic analyses, such as SNP array-based analysis. Using Affymetrix 10 K and 100 K SNP mapping array, we evaluated the performance of the Phi29 DNA polymerase-based genome amplification. Greater than 99% concordance in genotyping calls were achieved between amplified and non-amplified DNAs for both arrays. By utilizing the Affymetrix GeneChip Chromosome Copy Number Tool, the allelic imbalance profiles for the advanced stage oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) were generated based on 10 K and 100 K SNP mapping array results. The results from these two array platforms agree closely, but more precise allelic imbalance patterns can be revealed from the 100 K SNP mapping array data. Furthermore, our data suggested a frequent loss at 3p11-p12 for advanced stage OTSCC.
