Frequent loss of a specific chromosomic region in cancers is often associated with inactivation of a tumor-suppressor gene. The long arm of chromosome 10 is deleted in several types of tumor, among them squamous-cell carcinomas of the head and neck (HNSCC). To determine the role of 10q deletions in

## Abstract The phospholipid transfer protein STARD10 cooperates with __cβerbB__ signaling and is overexpressed in __Neu/ErbB2__ breast cancers. We investigated if STARD10 expression provides additional prognostic information to HER2/__neu__ status in primary breast cancer. A published gene express
DNA samples from tumors and paired normal tissues from 48 patients with prostate cancer (stage B, I 6 cases; stage C, I 4 cases; stage D, I 8 cases) were examined with 26 polymorphic markers spanning chromosome 10. Allelic losses were observed in I7 of the 46 cases (37%) that were informative with a
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosomal loci has been associated with the presence of tumor suppressor genes at the deleted loci. Twenty-six clinically localized, Stage B prostate carcinomas were analyzed for LOH on chromosomes 10 and 17 using microsatellite markers. Two of 26 carcinomas showed
## Abstract Allele loss of chromosome arms 11q and 16q in Wilms tumors has been associated with different clinical parameters in prior studies. To substantiate these findings in a large collection of tumors treated according to the GPOH/SIOP protocol and to narrow down critical regions, we performe
## Abstract In this study, we describe characteristic chromosomal alterations in a consecutive series of 96 serous ovarian tumors by comparative genomic hybridization. We analyze their association with different pathways of progression, histological grade, and clinical outcome. The most striking di
