One of the most frequent genetic abnormalities in prostate cancer is loss of the complete or part of the short arm of chromosome 8, indicating the localization of one or more tumor suppressor genes on this chromosomal arm. Using allelotyping, a frequently deleted region in prostate cancer in a genet

By using tissue microdissection and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques, we examined 85 prostate tumors that were paired with normal tissues from the same patients for allelic loss at 26 highly polymorphic microsatellite sequences, 21 spanning 8p and 5 localized to 8q. Sixty-four tumors (75%)
The finger motif is a tandemly repeated DNA-binding domain recently identified in the primary structure of several eukaryotic transcriptional regulatory proteins. It has been proposed that some members of the finger-gene family are implicated in both normal cell proliferation and differentiation. We
