## Abstract Allelic loss on chromosome 13 occurs frequently in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. However, studies of the two known tumor suppressor genes located on 13q, __RB1__ and __BRCA2__, have shown few mutations, suggesting that other genes are likely to be involved in the development of th
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy worldwide and highly associated with chronic virus-B or -C infection and cirrhosis. Molecular studies have shown high frequency of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in some specific chromosome regions, but LOH on chromosome 9 in HCC has not been thoro
Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) with sarcomatoid transformation show the most malignant behaviour of all renal carcinoma types. In this study, comparative genomic hybridization was used to screen for losses and gains of DNA sequences along all chromosome arms in 12 sarcomatoid (S) RCCs. On average, the
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was examined at 27 loci on chromosomes 3p, 6q, I Ip, 13q. 17 and X in 42 human ovarian tumors. LOH was detected in I 2 of 26 (46%) and 5 of I 2 (42%) informative cases at 2 chromosome 13q loci, D13S32 and D I3534 respectively. On chromosome Xp, tumor-specific allele loss
