We investigated 24 hepatocellular carcinomas in Japan to find loss of heterozygosity with 15 polymorphic DNA markers that detect allelic losses at specific chromosome loci. Loss of heterozygosity on chromosomes lOq, 17p and 22q was detected in 3 of 12 (26%), 9 of 21 (43%) and 5 of 15 (33%) informati

Deletions involving the chromosome 9p21 region have been reported as frequent events in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To investigate potential tumor-suppressor gene (TSG) loci within the 9p21 region, which also harbors the candidate TSG locus CDKN2a, we studied 32 cases of primary NSCLC for lo

Many tumors exhibit loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for polymorphic markers in regions of the genome that contain genes whose normal function can suppress tumor growth. Mapping of regions of LOH can help identify putative tumor suppressor loci that play a role in the pathogenesis of a disease. We evalu
Four genetic poljmorphisms in the AP C and MCC genes at chromosome 5q21 were analysed for loss of heterozygosity &OH) in 97 primary squamous carcinomas and adenocarcinomas of the lung. LOH was identified in at least two polymorphic loci in 41 percent of informative cases. There was no significant di
## Abstract Activating mutations of __RAS__ gene families have been found in a variety of human malignancies, including lung cancer, suggesting their dominant role in tumorigenesis. However, several studies have shown a frequent loss of the wildโtype __KRAS__ allele in the tumors of murine models a
