Abstract：
:DNA copy number amplifications activate oncogenes and are found in the majority of advanced solid tumors. Cell-lineage specificity and oncogene affinity of DNA amplifications in cancer suggest that properties of precursor stem cells and selection pressure in the tissue micro-environment determine the genomic location of gene amplifications. Biological specificity and significance of gene amplifications make them potential targets for clinical applications. Here we discuss the specificity of non-randomly occurring DNA copy number amplifications as defining features for cancers, their selection in the tumor tissue, and significance in the clinical practice.
