## Abstract A previous study of 18 primary or metastatic prostate cancers showed loss of genetic markers on chromosome 8; 10, or 16 in more than 50% of cases [Bergerheim USR et al. (1991) Genes Chromosom Cancer 3:215β220]. The small size and infiltrative nature of primary prostatic tumors have hind
Like most cancers, prostate cancer (CaP) is believed to be the result of the accumulation of genetic alterations within cells. Previous studies have implicated numerous chromosomal regions with elevated rates of allelic imbalance (AI), using mostly primary CaPs with an unknown disease outcome. These
We have previously reported a complete allelotype study of 86 primary breast carcinomas, in which each non-acrocentric chromosome arm was studied with at least one polymorphic DNA-marker for the presence of allelic imbalance (Al, allelic loss or allelic gain) in the tumor. Here we report the statist
## Abstract We have determined regions of allelic imbalance in human breast cancer cells using highly polymorphic microsatellite markers, which can be rapidly typed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using very small amounts of DNA. It appears that there are several regions of chromosome I whic
