## Abstract Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or allelic imbalance, the latter term referring to both loss and gain of an allele, on the long arm of chromosome 16 has been repeatedly found in cancers of, e.g., the breast and prostate. This indicates the presence of one or more tumor suppressor genes on
At least two different regions are involved in allelic imbalance on chromosome 16q in breast cancer

Like most cancers, prostate cancer (CaP) is believed to be the result of the accumulation of genetic alterations within cells. Previous studies have implicated numerous chromosomal regions with elevated rates of allelic imbalance (AI), using mostly primary CaPs with an unknown disease outcome. These
The loss of genetic material from a specific chromosome region in tumors suggests the presence of tumor-suppressor genes. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or allelic imbalance (Al) on the long arm of chromosome 16 is a known event in sporadic breast cancer. To locate the commonly deleted regions, and th
