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

We previously reported the identification of three minimal regions of deletion on the short arm of chromosome 3 (3p) in epithelial ovarian tumor specimens, suggesting that the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes in these regions may be important in terms of ovarian tumorigenesis. Another previous
Background. There is increasing evidence suggesting that genes located on the short arm of chromosome 11 play an important role in the development of human ovarian cancer. Recent cytogenetic and molecular studies have demonstrated the loss of genetic material in this region. Loss of normal growth re
Chromosomal deletions, associated with the loss of normal function of tumour suppressor genes, have been identified in a variety of both familial and sporadic human cancers. Although the molecular pathology of ovarian cancer is not understood, several studies have reported deletions in chromosome I7
