Sixty-three non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs) and 20 small cell lung carcinomas (SCLct) were examined for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 2. Fifteen highly polymorphic dinucleotide markers spanning both the short and long arms of chromosome 2 were selected for a polymerase chain rea

Abstract
There is evidence that a putative glioma tumor suppressor locus resides on the long arm of chromosome 19. We present data on 161 gliomas from IS6 patients, which were studied by microsatellite analysis for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 19. Eight loci on the long arm and 2 loci on the short arm of chromosome IV were examined. LOH on I9qwas observed in 3/19 astrocytomas (WHO grade II), 12/27 anaplastic astrocytomas (WHO grade III), 16/76 cases of glioblastoma multiforme WHO (grade IV), 4/9 oligodendrogliomas (WHO grade II), 3/5 anaplastic oligodendrogliomas (WHO grade III), 5/9 mixed oligoβastrocytomas (WHO grade II) and 8/10 anaplastic oligoβastrocytomas (WHO grade III). While 31 of the tumors with LOH on chromosomal arm I9q exhibited allelic loss at every informative locus, 20 tumors showed terminal or interstitial deletions. In contrast to astrocytomas and glioblastomas, tumors with an oligodendroglial component had predominantly lost the entire long arm of chromosome 19. The common region of overlap in gliomas was located on 19q 13.2βq 13.4 between the markers D 19S 178 and D 19S 180. Our data confirm the involvement of a putative tumor suppressor gene on chromosomal arm 19q in gliomas and assign this gene to 19q 13.2βq 13.4.

Allelic loss on chromosome 10 is a frequent event in high grade gliomas. Earlier studies have shown that in most cases a complete copy of chromosome 10 is lost in the tumor. To define more accurately and specifically the region of common deletion on chromosome arm 10p, we have screened a large serie
Cytogenetic and molecular genetic analyses have shown that a tumor-suppressor gene for human meningioma is located on the long arm of chromosome 22. Recently, somatic mutations of the NF2 gene have been identified in sporadic meningiomas. However, tumorigenesis of certain cases of meningioma cannot
## Abstract Nearly 10% of human gliomas are oligodendrogliomas. Deletion of chromosome arm 19q, often in conjunction with deletion of 1p, has been observed in 65β80% of these tumors. This has suggested the presence of a tumor suppressor gene located on the 19q arm. Chromosome 19 deletion is also of
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) frequently shows a loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 4q. In order to define the commonly affected region on chromosome 4q for further positional cloning of the putative tumor suppressor gene, we carried out allelic imbalance (AI) studies in 41 HCCs using a pan
