Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies reported thus far suggest that tumor suppressor loci on chromosome 5q are important in esophageal cancer (EC) while little is known about the involvement of chromosome 5p. To investigate the potential existence of tumor suppressor gene(s) on chromosome 5 contribu

Chromosome region 9p21 contains a tumor suppressor locus (p16) that may be involved in the genesis of several kinds of malignant tumors. To characterize the role of this gene in the development of soft-tissue tumors (STTs), we investigated the frequency of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at this locus.

Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 9 has been reported in a variety of human cancers. The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16 gene, mapped on chromosome 9p21, is presumed to be the tumor-suppressor gene localized in this chromosome. The aim of our study was to determine, in 26 Barrett's adenocar
The most frequent genetic aberration found in transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder involves chromosome 9. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analyses show deletions of both chromosome 9p and 9q, while in situ hybridization studies suggest a significant percentage of tumours with monosomy 9. To
## Abstract Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is a critical event in the development of human cancers. LOH is thought to result from either a large deletion or recombination between homologous alleles during repair of DNA doubleβstrand breaks (DSBs). These types of genetic alterations produce mutations
