Popis: Cultured human embryonic stem (hES) cells have a known predisposition to aneuploidy of chromosomes 12, 17 and X. We studied 17 hES cell lines by array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and found that the cells accumulate other recurrent chromosomal abnormalities, including amplification at 20q11.21 and a derivative chromosome 18. These genomic changes have a variable impact at the transcriptional level.
