Figure 5.4. Integration <strong>of</strong> copy number, allelic status, DNA methylation, and gene<br />

expression for a single lung adenocarcinoma sample. (a) Copy number and (b) allele<br />

status analyses revealed a high level allele-specific DNA amplification (highlighted in yellow,<br />

image generated with Partek Genomics Suite); (c) individual CpG loci within this region were<br />

assessed for differential methylation between tumor and non-malignant tissue.<br />

Hypomethylation at the indicated CpG locus, which corresponds to the MUC1 gene, is observed<br />

(visualized with Genesis). (d) Expression analysis revealed four-fold overexpression <strong>of</strong> the<br />

MUC1 transcript when a tumor sample was compared to matched, adjacent non-malignant<br />

tissue. Copy number and allele status pr<strong>of</strong>iling was performed using the Affymetrix SNP 6.0<br />

array; DNA methylation pr<strong>of</strong>iling using the Illumina Infinium HM27 platform; and gene<br />

expression using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST array.<br />
