## Abstract Nonrandom allelic loss on chromosome 3p is a common event in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) with the implication that certain tumor suppressor gene(s) in this region are involved in the pathogenesis of these tumors. The __BLU__ gene, located at 3p21.3, has recently been identified as a
Human prostate cancers frequently show loss of heterozygosity at loci on the short arm of chromosome 8. In order t o take a step toward isolation of the putative tumor suppressor gene(s) on 8p via positional cloning, we performed high-resolution deletion mapping in 46 prostate cancers (stage B, 20 c
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%)
Parathyroid adenomas causing primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) frequently exhibit allelic loss of DNA markers on the short arm of chromosome 1, indicating the presence of one or more tumor-suppressor genes on 1p. Since the development of pHPT is enhanced in individuals exposed to ionizing radiation
