✦ Synopsis

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 panel of 43 microsatellite markers. Thirty-four cases (82.9%) showed AI at one or more loci. Detailed deletion mapping identified 7 independent, frequently deleted regions on this chromosome arm. These were the (1) D4S1615 locus, (2) D4S1598 locus, (3) D4S620 locus, (4) D4S1566 and D4S2979 loci, (5) D4S1617 and D4S1545 loci, (6)D4S1537 locus; and (7) from the D4S2920 to D4S2954 locus. Among these 7 frequently deleted regions, 5 were associated with tumor differentiation. Our results suggest that several putative tumor suppressor genes may be present on chromosome 4q and that the AI of chromosome 4q may play a role in the aggressive progression of HCC.
