Epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK) (Vörner-Unna-Thost) is an autosomal dominantly inherited skin disease of unknown etiology characterized by diffuse severe hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles and, histologically, by cellular degeneration. We have mapped a gene for EPPK to chromosome 17

Chromosome 17p is among the most frequently deleted regions in a variety of human malignancies including breast cancer. This study has further refined the localization of a putative tumour suppressor gene (TSG) at 17p13 distal to the TP53 gene in breast carcinomas. It was found that 73% (37 of 51) o
## Human chromosome band 16q24 commonly undergoes loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To further localize the region of deletion on 16q24 and to evaluate the genetic role of 17-beta-HSD, which is near 16q24, in HCC, we examined the pattern of loss of heterozygosity
