## Abstract Gains and losses of chromosomes 1, 3, 6 and 8 are nonrandom chromosomal aberrations in uveal melanoma. Monosomy 3 is the most frequent abnormality and is associated with poor prognosis. To identify regions of allelic loss on the short arm of chromosome 1 and to investigate if these alte
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
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
