An extended analysis for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on eight chromosomes was conducted in a series of 82 Wilms tumors. Observed rates of allele loss were: 9.5% (1p), 5% (4q), 6% (6p), 3% (7p), 9.8% (11q), 28% (11p15), 13.4% (16q), 8.8% (18p), and 13.8% (22q). Known regions of frequent allele loss

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), which includes familial polyposis coli (FPC) and the Gardner syndrome (GS), is a genetically determined premalignant disease of the colon inherited by a locus (APC) mapping within 5q15-q22. To elucidate the role of 5q loss in FAP tumorigenesis, we analysed 51 co
Malignant rhabdoid tumors are rare and aggressive neoplasms of childhood, occurring in the kidney or in various extrarenal locations. Most cytogenetic studies of these tumors have shown the frequent involvement of chromosome 22, including translocations and/or deletions, with a critical region for a
## Abstract The most common known molecular defect in Wilms tumor (WT) of the kidney, the most frequent solid tumor of childhood, is loss of imprinting (LOI) of the insulinβlike growth factorβII gene (__IGF2__), which involves activation of the normally silent maternal allele of the gene and hyperm
We previously reported NF2 mutations in malignant mesothelioma (MM) cell lines and corresponding primary tumors. We have now generated polyclonal antibodies that specifically recognize the C-terminus of the NF2 protein. Western blot analysis was performed on 25 MM cell lines, 14 of which showed no N
