Chromosomal imbalances in the resistant cells mostly overlapped the NCI-H1975 cells (Supplementary Figure 6A), including common DNA aberrations in lung cancer, such as amplifications in locus 7p11.2, containing the EGFR gene, and gains at 5p15.33-p15.31, 1q21-q25, 8q24.21 and 11q13 loci [http://AtlasGeneticsOncology.org, 20]. Here, EGFR is linked to lung carcinoma.
