## Abstract Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or allelic imbalance, the latter term referring to both loss and gain of an allele, on the long arm of chromosome 16 has been repeatedly found in cancers of, e.g., the breast and prostate. This indicates the presence of one or more tumor suppressor genes on
Pancreatic cancer has one of the poorest prognoses among malignant diseases. To understand its molecular mechanisms, we studied allelic losses on the long arm of chromosome 6. Using 55 paired DNAs of tumors and their corresponding normal tissues and 30 microsatellite markers that spanned the entire
Accumulation of mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes transforms a normal cell into a malignant cell by allowing it to escape from normal control of growth. In prostate tumorigenesis, the current model envisages specific mutations of the TP53 tumor suppressor gene and loss of loci, detec
