Frequent losses of heterozygosity observed at several chromosomal loci in primary lung cancers have indicated the existence of several tumor suppressor genes associated with this type of cancer. We have examined loss of heterozygosity on chromosomal arm 8p in 49 cases of non-small cell lung carcinom

Little is known about the biology of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), also called small cell carcinoma of the skin. MCC has similarities with small cell lung cancer (SCLC): both are neuroendocrine malignancies with early metastasis t o distant sites and a poor prognosis. Small cell lung cancer biopsies
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
