## Background: The fragile histidine triad (fhit) gene is a tumor suppressor gene that belongs to the histidine triad family of nucleoside binding proteins. the gene encompasses the common human chromosomal fragile site, the fra3b locus at chromosome 3p14.2, and is expressed in most normal adult ti
The FHIT (fragile histidine triad) gene has been isolated from the chromosome region 3p14.2, which includes the fragile site locus FRA3B and the breakpoint of the t(3;8) of familial renal carcinoma. FHIT has been suggested to be a candidate tumor suppressor gene for digestive tract carcinomas. To ev
## BACKGROUND. Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the most important etiologic factor for cervical carcinoma. However, additional cellular events may be necessary for malignant progression in the cervix. Recently, the fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene, which is frequently lost in many cancers, was
