β¦ Synopsis
Background:
We have identified for the first time a homozygously deleted region within the smallest region of overlap at 1p36.2-3 in two neuroblastoma cell lines.
Procedure:
The 800-kb pac contig covering the entire homozygously deleted region was made and sequenced. to date, approximately 70% of sequencing has been accomplished, and the estimated length of the deleted region was 500 kb.
Results:
Currently, we have found six genes within the region, which include three known genes as well as three other genes that have been reported during processing of our present project for the last 3(1/2) years. we report here the results of expression and mutation analyses of those genes.
Conclusions:
Full sequencing for the region of homozygous deletion as well as further analyses of the genes mapped within the region may reveal whether or not there is a neuroblastoma suppressor gene as proposed by the knudson's two-hit hypothesis.

We examined 149 lung cancer cell lines for homozygous deletions using 24 DNA markers, which were mapped and ordered in chromosome band 9p21, to define the target regions for 9p21 deletions in human lung cancer. Homozygous deletions were detected in 39 (26%) cell lines and clustered at 2 independent
Malignant rhabdoid tumors are rare and aggressive neoplasms of childhood, occurring in the kidney or in various extrarenal locations. Most cytogenetic studies of these tumors have shown the frequent involvement of chromosome 22, including translocations and/or deletions, with a critical region for a
Radiation-induced acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) in the mouse are characterized by chromosome 2 deletions. Previous studies showed that a minimal deleted region (mdr) of Ο³6.5 cM is lost from one homologue in chromosome 2-deleted AMLs. An AML tumor suppressor gene is proposed to map within this mdr.
