Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) observed in human tumors strongly suggests the existence of (a) tumor-suppressor gene(s) at the concerned locus. A series of studies has revealed that LOH on the long arm of chromosome 5 (5q) frequently occurs in differentiated gastric adenocarcinomas. Furthermore, it ha
The diagnosis of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is based on the occurrence of hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyps and perioral pigment spots. In view of the development of hamartomatous polyps in several syndromes and the variability of pigment spots in Peutz-Jeghers patients, identification of affected i
The PTEN/MMAC1/TEP1 gene has been isolated as a tumor suppressor gene that is altered in several types of human tumors including brain, breast, and prostate cancers. In the present study, we report PTEN/MMAC1/TEP1 alterations in human lung cancers. Intragenic homozygous deletions were detected in 6
