✦ Synopsis

Forty-four breast carcinomas were studied for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 25 microsatellite markers distributed almost evenly along chromosome arm 22q. LOH at at least one marker were observed in 66% tumors, while 6 regions of consistent LOH were identified. The size of each region ranged between 3 and 6 cM, and the distance between each region was estimated to be 8 to 12 cM. Even if not all these regions contain a bona fide tumor-suppressor gene, it is possible that several loci from chromosome arm 22q may be involved in breast carcinogenesis.

To determine whether a tumor suppressor gene of importance to epithelial ovarian cancer resides on the X chromosome, we examined loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in 123 epithelial ovarian cancer cases. In 54 such cases, we examined LOH at 26 loci on the human X chromosome. In eight cases, we examined LO
