Background. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies have been pivotal in identifying tumor suppressor genes involved in the pathogenesis of a number of cancers. In squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region (SCCHN), LOH studies using the Southern blot technique are scarce. Methods. SCCHNs we

## Abstract ## Background __IGF2__ and __H19__ are reciprocal imprinted genes with paternal and maternal monoallelic expression, respectively. This is interesting, because __IGF2__ is known as a growth factor, and __H19__ encodes a RNA with putative tumor suppressor action. Furthermore, __IGF2__ a
## Abstract ## Background. Microsatellite instability (MSI) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has been reported with a wide range of frequencies. The aim of our study was to disclose the frequency and basis of MSI in HNSCC and to correlate MSI and findings on loss of heterozygosity
