Abstract
Whole genome scanning of 43 lung cancer cell lines at a 100โkb resolution led to identification of 51 genomic regions with homozygous deletions (HDs). The regions contained 113 genes, including two known tumor suppressor genes, RBl (RB) and CDKN2A (p16), and eight genes previously reported as being candidate tumor suppressor genes, such as PTPRD and LRP1B. Three miRNA genes, MIRNLET7C (letโ7c), MIRN99A (hsaโmirโ99a), and MIRN125B2 (hsaโmirโ125bโ2), were also mapped in a region with HD at 21q11โq21. The present study provides a list of proteinโ and miRNAโencoding genes whose inactivation is possibly involved in lung carcinogenesis. ยฉ 2007 WileyโLiss, Inc.

## Abstract A total of 176 genes homozygously deleted in human lung cancer were identified by DNA arrayโbased whole genome scanning of 52 lung cancer cell lines and subsequent genomic PCR in 74 cell lines, including the 52 cell lines scanned. One or more exons of these genes were homozygously delet
## Abstract The frequent presence of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 21q21 in lung cancer suggests the existence of putative tumor suppressor genes in this genomic region. Furthermore, the identification of a homozygous deletion in this region has lent further support for its potential involvement
## Abstract Identification of a homozygous deletion in cancer cells provides strong evidence for the location of a tumor suppressor gene (TSG). We analyzed the 2p24 homozygous deletion of a nonโsmallโcell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line, NCIโH2882, and found that the deletion size was 3.7 Mbp. Since
