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

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
Chromosomal arm 1p has long been suspected, on the basis of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and other data, to harbor a tumor suppressor gene important in pancreatic carcinomas and other tumors. We constructed a high-resolution map of LOH at I p in a panel of pancreatic adenocarcinomas. Using 44 marker
Previous cytogenetic investigations have revealed frequent deletions and ocher unbalanced structural rearrangements of 3p in human malignant mesothelioma, We have performed a restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis by using the polymerase chain reaction and primer sets for seven DNA marker
As a first step toward understanding molecular mechanisms in human pancreatic carcinogenesis, we searched for the location of tumor suppressor genes by examining loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in 44 pancreatic cancer specimens. W e used 46 microsatellite markers that spanned all of the autosomes. Freq
