    Abstract

    The majority of microarray studies evaluate gene ex-
    pression differences between various specimens or con-
    ditions. However, the causes of this variability often re-
    main unknown. Our aim is to identify underlying causes
    of these patterns, a process that would eventually enable
    a mechanistic understanding of the deregulation of gene
    expression in cancer. The procedure consists of three
    phases: pre-processing, data integration and statistical
    analysis. We have applied the strategy to identify genes
    that are overexpressed due to amplification in breast
    cancer. The data were obtained from 14 breast cancer
    cell lines, which were subjected to cDNA microarray
    based copy number and expression experiments. The re-
    sult of the analysis was a list that consisted of 92 genes.
    This set includes several genes that are known to be both
    overexpressed and amplified in breast cancer. The com-
    plete study was published in Journal of the Franklin In-
    stitute 2004, and in this paper we focus on the main
    issues of the study.
