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.
