## 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.
