β¦ Synopsis
We have characterised a region of deletion on the long arm of chromosome 6 (6q) in six cases of acute lymphobiastic leukaemia, by fluorescence in situ hybridisation, using a series of YAC clones which map to 6q. Conventional cytogenetic analysis of four of these cases had been interpreted as showing terminal deletions of 6q. We demonstrated by FISH that in all cases the deletions were interstitial. D6S246 (6q16.3) was the only marker which was missing in all six cases, indicating a common region of deletion between the markers M6P I at 6q 14-1 5 and FYN at 6q2I. Our results suggest the presence of a tumour suppressor gene within this interval. Genes Chrom Cancer 10:26-29 (1994).

## Abstract We describe a 3βyearβold male with deletion of part of 6q. The karyotype was 46,XY,del(6q) in both lymphocytes and skin fibroblasts. The patient had: frontal bossing, epicanthal folds, broad nasal bridge, apparently lowβset and posteriorly angulated ears, micrognathia, cardiac defects,
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
During an allelotype analysis of differentiated adenocarcinoma of the stomach, we observed frequent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on several chromosomes including the long arm of chromosome 21 (21q). Therefore, we analyzed DNA isolated from 45 tumors for LOH at 10 loci on 21q by using polymorphic mic
Accumulation of mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes transforms a normal cell into a malignant cell by allowing it to escape from normal control of growth. In prostate tumorigenesis, the current model envisages specific mutations of the TP53 tumor suppressor gene and loss of loci, detec
