✦ Synopsis


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 was observed in 9 out of I 5 informative cases (60%) at the ornithine transcarbamylase (OK) gene locus.

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

One of the main genetic abnormalities associated with breast carcinogenesis is the loss of genetic material from chromosome arm 16q. Different groups have identified two regions (16q22.1 and 16q24-ter) that are frequently deleted in primary tumors, suggesting the presence of tumor suppressor genes i

The analysis of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in tumours can be a powerful tool for mapping the sites of tumour suppressor genes in the human genome. A panel of breast cancer patients was assembled as pairs of tumour and lymphocyte DNA samples and LOH studies carried out by Southern hybridisation wit
