Abstract
Despite oncogene amplification being a characteristic of many tumor types, the mechanisms leading to amplicon formation have remained largely unresolved. In this study, we used a combinatorial approach of fluorescence in situ hybridization and single-nucleotide polymorphism chip gene copy number analyses to unravel the mechanism leading to nonsyntenic coamplification of MYC and ATBF1 in SJNB-12 cells. To explain our findings, we propose a complex series of events consisting of multiple double-strand breaks, accompanied (or triggered) by the formation of a reciprocal translocation t(8; 16), as well as excisions and deletions near the translocation breakpoints. This study provides evidence for a translocation-excision-deletion-amplification... (More)

This study provides evidence for a translocation-excision-deletion-amplification sequence of events rather than a breakage-fusion-bridge model, which has been more frequently proposed to explain proto-oncogene amplification. Furthermore, it illustrates the power of presently available tools for detailed analysis of the complex rearrangements that accompany amplicon formation. (Less)
