The recently identified FHIT gene encompasses the FRA3B region and the breakpoint of a constitutive t(3;8) occurring in a family with hereditary renal cell cancer. Occurrence of aberrant transcripts in different types of tumours has led to the suggestion that FHIT might play a critical role in the d

Chromosomal or allelic losses at 3p14 are common in a variety of human tumors, including those of the lung, breast, kidney, and head and neck. This suggests the existence of a tumor suppressor gene in this band. A promising candidate is the recently cloned FHIT gene, which spans the common fragile s
We have used 14 DNA probes, which detect 19 different restriction enzyme length polymorphisms, t o search for heterozygosity on chromosome 3 in five cell lines isolated from patients with small cell lung carcinoma. The cell lines on karyotype analysis did not show the deletion in chromosome 3 charac
