Cadherins (CDH) are cell adhesion molecules and their dysfunctions have been implicated in the development of cancer metastases. Several cadherin genes are tandemly located on 16q, which is frequently deleted in prostate cancer. We therefore used 22 markers on 16q to localize important deleted regio

Like most cancers, prostate cancer (CaP) is believed to be the result of the accumulation of genetic alterations within cells. Previous studies have implicated numerous chromosomal regions with elevated rates of allelic imbalance (AI), using mostly primary CaPs with an unknown disease outcome. These
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is rare in most parts of the world, but prevalent in Southern China. Although this disease poses a serious health problem in our population, the genetic alterations that lead to the development of NPC have yet to be defined.

## Abstract The short arm of chromosome Ip is the most frequently altered chromosome segment in neuroblastoma. The alterations, mainly deletions, are thought to be indicative of the presence of a tumor suppressor gene. To further refine the chromosome localization of this gene, we have studied pair
The mapping of the naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) and the Ferguson-Smith syndrome to the same region on chromosome arm 9q has led t o speculation that the two conditions may reflect different mutations within the same gene. Loss of heterozygosity of 9q alleles in both familial and spo
We examined loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene (RB1) locus on chromosome 13q14 in 20 non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) using polymorphic markers. The expression of RB protein was examined by immunohistochemical analysis of paraffinembedded specimens of the same
