## Abstract Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in chromosomal regions that harbor tumor suppressor genes from tumor tissue may lead to decreased survival time in cancer patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). We studied 8 regions frequently lost in HNSCC in 150 patients having

## 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
