Cytogenetic and RFLP studies have shown that chromosome I0 is frequently lost in tumor cells from glioblastomas, suggesting that a suppressor gene important in tumorigenesis is present on this chromosome. Forty-one tumors were examined for loss of heterozygosity at 23 loci on chromosome 10 to determ

✦ Synopsis
Loss of constitutional heterozygosity as determined through the analysis of restriction-fragment-length polymorphism (RFLP) on tumoral and constitutional DNA has proven to be helpful to delimit the location of tumor-suppressor genes in the human genome. In malignant gliomas this approach indicates that

Many tumors exhibit loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for polymorphic markers in regions of the genome that contain genes whose normal function can suppress tumor growth. Mapping of regions of LOH can help identify putative tumor suppressor loci that play a role in the pathogenesis of a disease. We evalu
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 betwee
To date, several tumor-suppressor genes responsible for the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer have been identified. However, studies of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) have suggested several chromosomal regions which may contain additional tumor-suppressor genes for colorectal cancer. To determine the
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was examined at 27 loci on chromosomes 3p, 6q, I Ip, 13q. 17 and X in 42 human ovarian tumors. LOH was detected in I 2 of 26 (46%) and 5 of I 2 (42%) informative cases at 2 chromosome 13q loci, D13S32 and D I3534 respectively. On chromosome Xp, tumor-specific allele loss
