## Abstract Recurrent deletions of chromosome fragments observed in neoplasms are thought to participate in tumor development through the inactivation of tumor‐suppressor genes. In gliomas, the most frequent deletions involve chromosome arms 9p, 10q, 17p, 19q and 22q. We have analysed deletions of
## Abstract Allelic imbalance (AI) on chromosome arm 22q has been detected in 20%–40% of colorectal cancers, suggesting that this chromosome arm has a tumor‐suppressor gene involved in colorectal carcinogenesis. Recently, we isolated a candidate tumor‐suppressor gene, __MYO18B__, at 22q12.1, that i
