## Abstract It has been suggested that common fragile sites (cFSs) are related to cancer development. This appears to be the case for FRA3B and FRA16D, localized in two tumorβsuppressor genes (__FHIT__ and __WWOX__, respectively) that are altered by deletions or loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in many
Chromosomal or allelic losses at 3p14 are common in a variety of human tumors, including those of the lung, breast, kidney, and head and neck. This suggests the existence of a tumor suppressor gene in this band. A promising candidate is the recently cloned FHIT gene, which spans the common fragile s
HE FIRST demonstration of "leucylpepti-T dase" as a component of erepsin was made by measuring the rate of liberation of carboxyl groups from L-leucylglycine.6 However, since this substrate was hydrolyzed by enzymes other than leucylpeptidase, L-leucinamide, a more specific substrate was synthesized
Aberrant promoter methylation of normally unmethylated CpG-islands offers a promising tool for the development of molecular biomarkers. We investigated bronchial aspirates of patients admitted for suspected lung cancer with regard to the prevalence of aberrant methylation of potential marker genes.
## Abstract Disease expression in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) cannot be readily explained by mutation site in the respective DNA mismatch repair genes associated with this disorder. One explanation is the role of modifying genes that can either promote or prevent disease devel
