Non-small-cell lung carcinoma
Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is any type of epithelial lung cancer other than small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). As a class, NSCLCs are relatively insensitive to chemotherapy, compared to small cell carcinoma.
The most common types of NSCLC are squamous cell carcinoma(鳞状细胞癌 ), large cell carcinoma(大细胞癌 ), and adenocarcinoma(腺癌 )
but there are several other types that occur less frequently, and all types can occur in unusual histologic variants and as mixed cell-type combinations.

Lung adenocarcinoma
Adenocarcinoma of the lung is currently the most common type of lung cancer in "never smokers". Adenocarcinomas account for approximately 40% of lung cancers.
Squamous cell lung carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung is more common in men than in women. It is closely correlated with a history of tobacco smoking, more so than most other types of lung cancer.
Large-cell lung carcinoma
Large cell lung carcinoma (LCLC) is a heterogeneous group of undifferentiated malignant neoplasms originating from transformed epithelial cells in the lung

Copy-number variation
Copy-number variations (CNVs)—a form of structural variation—are alterations of the DNA of a genome that results in the cell having an abnormal number of copies of one or more sections of the DNA.
CNVs contrast with single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which affect only one single nucleotide base.

Identification
Copy number variation can be discovered by cytogenetic techniques
1. fluorescent in situ hybridization( 荧光原位杂交 )
2. comparative genomic hybridization
3. array comparative genomic hybridization
4. virtual karyotyping with SNP arrays.

3. Array comparative genome hybridization (aCGH)
1. DNA from a test sample and normal reference sample are labelled differentially, using different fluorophores,
2. hybridized to several thousand probes. The probes are derived from most of the known genes and non-coding regions of the genome, printed on a glass slide.
3. The fluorescence intensity of the test and of the reference DNA is then measured, to calculate the ratio between them and subsequently the copy number changes for a particular location in the genome.

Prevalence in humans
DNA copy number variation is a widespread and common phenomenon among humans
Role in disease
some CNVs have been associated with susceptibility or resistance to disease
Gene copy number can be elevated in cancer cells. the EGFR copy number can be higher than normal in
non-small cell lung cancer

CNVs and phenotype
Almost by definition, most CNVs have either no phenotypic consequences or only subtle or benign ones
they are comparable to the majority of SNPs
some CNVs do indeed have phenotypic consequences

Copy-number changes and cancer
CNVs have clearly been shown to have the potential to indirectly influence a healthy individual’s susceptibility to cancer , for example by varying the gene dosage of tumour suppressors or oncogenes
Changes in copy number of parts of the genome are known to be a feature of many cancers
it difficult to determine which copy-number changes are significant or causative and which are purely incidental or of minor importance.

MCC and uMCC – a digital genomics approach to CNVs
molecular copy-number counting

The initial results, however, were distorted owing to the extreme fragmentation of the DNA; as with any PCR-based method, longer target sequences are more susceptible than shorter ones to destruction caused by DNA damage
by choosing targets of short and approximately uniform length, this problem could be overcome, and this led to the modified method of uMCC.

Location, location, location!
In a few cases, usually those showing large structuralabnormalities, the whereabouts of the extra copies areknown, but in most cases they are not. Indeed, it is extremely difficult to determine where the further copies of a CNV are located in the genome unless they are large enough to be discerned by fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Somatic CNV
Copy-number differences between somatic cells could potentially be quite widespread without our being aware of it.
The authors used CGH to reveal copy-number differences between different tissues that were sample dpost-mortem from single individuals who had died from apparently non-genomic causes.

propose to look for associations between copy number and expression not only using individual genes, but also using gene sets.
We wish to find which individual copy number changesaffect gene expression levels within the same chromo-somal region.

The gene-set model
An ideal way to avoid these problems is to include in the model all expression probes within the same large region. This leads us to the model, for each copy number probe i,
