The main objective of this study was to determine the precise frequency of chromosome 14q loss of heterozygosity in nasopharyngeal carcinomas and to define its minimal deletion regions. Thirty-nine tumors were selected for PCRbased deletion mapping using 19 microsatellite polymorphic markers spannin

β¦ Synopsis
We have examined I 7 primary undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma biopsies for allelic loss on 3p, comparing the findings in tumors with those in normal lymphocyte D N A from the same patients. Ten polymorphic microsatellite markers were used between 3p I 3 and 3p26. Allelic IOU was observed in I 2 samples (70%). Two loci were most frequently affected D3S I067 (3p2 I . I -14.3) in 60% and D3S I 2 I 7 (3p 14.2-14. I ) in 58%. One tumor seemed to have a homozygous deletion at 3p26, detected by the D3S I297 marker. Analysis of the clinical data showed that an increased number of aberrations in 3p was correlated with more advanced tumor stages. Genes Chromosom Cancer 17:118-126 (1996).

One of the main genetic abnormalities associated with breast carcinogenesis is the loss of genetic material from chromosome arm 16q. Different groups have identified two regions (16q22.1 and 16q24-ter) that are frequently deleted in primary tumors, suggesting the presence of tumor suppressor genes i
## Abstract To identify the putative common deleted region on the long arm of chromosome 22 in pheochromocytoma, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was performed in 17 pheochromocytomas. All cases were heterozygous for at least one of the eight marker loci on 22q. Loss of heterozygos
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
## Abstract Cell lines were established from fresh tumor biopsies from two Saudi patients with poorly differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Cytogenetic analysis on Giemsaβbanded metaphase cells revealed complex, abnormal karyotypes in both patients with modal chromosome numbers of 77 and 5
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosome arm 3p has been commonly observed in carcinomas of various tissues, including those of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). To determine the frequency and extent of allelic loss in NPC, we investigated 16 loci on chromosome bands 3p21-26 in 24 tumor tissues by m
