Figure 2 Accumulation of allelic imbalance through the progression from neuroendocrine tumor G2 to neuroendocrine tumor G3 to neuroendocrine carcinoma in the present case.
AIs at 1p, 3p, 8q, TP53, 18q, and 22q were common in three components (NET G2, NET G3, and NEC). AI at 4p was acquired during the progression from NET G2 to G3. AIs at 5q and 8q were found during progression from NET G3 to NEC. NEC: Neuroendocrine carcinoma; NET: Neuroendocrine tumor; AI: Allelic imbalance.
