## Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosomes 3p and 9p has been documented in a variety of malignancies, which suggests the presence of tumor suppressor gene loci on these chromosomes. We have studied 77 oral carcinomas for LOH using 16 microsatellite markers distributed over 5 human chromosomes.

Abstract
Cytogenetic analysis of mesothelioma cell lines and solid tumors has documented nonβrandom chromosomal abnormalities on the short arm of chromosome 3 from 3p 14 to 3p25. We therefore examined nine mesothelioma cell lines, their corresponding tumors, and 15 additional mesothelioma tumors for loss of heterozygosity on 3p from 3p 13 to 3p25.5 by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis at 8 loci: D3S3, D3S30, D3S6, D3S2, D3S32, D3FI5S2, THRB, and VHL Loss of heterozygosity was documented by loss of one of two alleles in the tumor DNA whose corresponding normal DNA was heterozygous and was documented in four of nine mesothelioma cell lines and six of 15 mesothelioma tumors or a total of 42% of the mesotheliomas evaluated. This study suggests the involvement of a gene on the short arm of chromosome 3 in the development of mesotheliomas.

## Abstract A majority of renalβcell tumours retain heterozygosity at the short arm of chromosome 3. To investigate possible histopathological differences between tumours with and without such losses, we compared loss of heterozygosity data from 51 tumours with 1 histological and 2 different cytolo
## Pheochromocytomas occur sporadically and are associated with several dominantly inherited cancer syndromes, including von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. We examined 14 pheochromocytomas (four from VHL patients, nine from sporadic patients, and one from a patient with familial pheochromocytoma) fo
Deletions in the short arm of chromosome 3 have long been known to be common in many tumor types, including carcinomas of the lung and kidney. Small interstitial deletions of the proximal-central region of 3p, with band 3p14 as a minimal common deleted segment, have recently been shown to occur in a
Previous cytogenetic investigations have revealed frequent deletions and ocher unbalanced structural rearrangements of 3p in human malignant mesothelioma, We have performed a restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis by using the polymerase chain reaction and primer sets for seven DNA marker
