Recently, three candidate tumor suppressor genes, SMAD2 (MADR2/JV18-1), SMAD4 (DPC4), and DCC, were identified in chromosome band 18q21. We examined allelic imbalance (AI) in 18q21 using six polymorphic microsatellite markers in 38 primary ovarian cancers and four ovarian borderline tumors. AI at on

## Abstract Allelic imbalance constitutes a major mechanism of genetic aberrations in breast cancer and strongly indicates the involvement of tumor associated genes in the affected chromosomal regions. Preliminary results from our study indicated the existence of a tumor suppressor gene located on
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
