To identify the location of one or more putative tumor suppressor genes that may be involved in urinary bladder cancer, we examined 82 such tumors for allelic losses at 19 microsatellite loci on 8p. Loss of heterozygosity was observed in 31 of the cases. Deletion mapping identified a commonly delete

โฆ Synopsis
To search for the existence of a tumour-suppressor gene (TSG) associated with oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), PCR analysis of microsatellite polymorphisms corresponding to 14 loci which map to chromosome 7q21.3-qter was performed to screen 35 patients with oral SCC for loss of heterozygosity (LOH). LOH was observed in at least one of the loci in 19 of 34 (55.9%) informative cases. Among the loci tested, frequent LOH was restricted at D7S522 on chromosome 7q31.1, which was measured within 1 cM. Furthermore, we detected microsatellite instability (MI) in 11 of 35 (31.4%) cases tested. Our observations indicate that alterations of chromosome 7q are associated with oral SCC tumorigenesis and that 7q31.1 might harbour at least one putative TSG. Int.

## Background: Frequent allelic losses on the short arm of chromosome 8 in several types of human cancers, and deletion maps of this region in tumor dnas, have suggested that 8p harbors one or more genes that are important for suppressing tumorigenesis in the tissues in question. ## Methods: To d
Frequent allelic losses on chromosome arm 13q are observed in carcinomas of the head and neck, breast, ovary, and pituitary gland. We analyzed 59 primary prostate tumors (stage B, 18 patients; C, 12 patients; D1, 4 patients; and endocrine therapy-resistant cancer death, 25 patients), as well as 18 m
Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 22q was detected in 53% of 123 ovarian carcinomas, suggesting the presence of at least one tumour suppressor gene. We have refined the location of one possible tumour suppressor gene to the region between the microsatellite markers D22S299 and CYP2D. Located with
We have isolated a human cDNA encoding a 115-amino-acid polypeptide that revealed 97% identity to a candidate tumor suppressor gene for oral cancer in Mesocricetus auratus (deleted in oral cancer-1; doc-1). It also showed a high degree of homology to a gene induced by TNF-โฃ in Mus musculus. To inves
