Background: Brain tumors claimed the lives of 13,300 people in 1995. Our objective was to isolate and characterize unique tumor-suppressor genes from human brain tumors derived from patients in the United States. Methods: Differential display-polymerase chain reaction was used to isolate tumor suppr

## Abstract The putative tumor suppressor NORE1A (RASSF5) is a member of the Ras association domain family and is commonly inactivated in human cancer. The closely related gene family member and functional collaborator __RASSF1A__ is a __bona fide__ tumor suppressor and is frequently involved in ne
RFLP and microsatellite analysis with 23 polymorphic markers spanning the entire long arm of chromosome 14 in 108 neuroblastomas showed allelic loss in 19 out of 107 (18%) informative tumors, placing 14q among the most frequently affected chromosomal regions in neuroblastoma. One minimal deletion re
## Abstract Astrocytomas and glioblastomas are the most frequent primary brain tumors in adults. Mutations and altered expression of multiple genes have been found to contribute to the genesis of these tumors. However, many factors in the genesis of astrocytic gliomas are not resolved yet. The freq
