We tested the hypothesis that genes showing a similar pattern of copy number across species have been duplicated together in groups that we term 'gene modules'.
We observed before (data not published) that ER+ mutation carriers show a different pattern of copy number changes than triple-negative mutation carriers.
Importantly, we found a different pattern of copy number alterations in our set of bladder tumours, indicating that the relationship between cancer-related regions and miRNA locations is not straight-forward and probably cancer type specific.

This is in sharp contrast to the dramatic changes that occurred in the primate order, which show a pattern of increasing DUF1220 copy number as a function of increasing phyletic proximity to human.
Although a consistent distinct pattern of copy number changes does not seem to characterise BRCA1 and BRCA2 hereditary ovarian tumours, we were able to define several individual regions potentially associated with BRCA1 tumours (mainly losses) and a few other aberrations (gains and amplifications) potentially associated with sporadic tumours.
Array-CGH data indicated that ERBB2-amplified tumors showed a unique pattern of copy-number transitions [ 52] that could result from a specific amplification mechanism (breakage-fusion- bridge (BFB) cycles).
