Abstract

Multiple genetic lesions have been reported in small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), while considerably less information is available on squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We used reverse chromosome painting to screen a total of nine SCCs for DNA amplifications. In three of the nine SCCs, hybridisation signals were found at chromosome region 3q26.1-q26.3, which does not contain any known oncogene. In one of the three SCCs, there were additional hybridisation signals at 1q, 5p and 6p21.1. The high frequency of a consistent amplification (3q26.1-q26.3) in SCC strongly indicates a novel gene at 3q26.1-q26.3 that is important in the pathology of SCC.
