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
We investigated 24 hepatocellular carcinomas in Japan to find loss of heterozygosity with 15 polymorphic DNA markers that detect allelic losses at specific chromosome loci. Loss of heterozygosity on chromosomes lOq, 17p and 22q was detected in 3 of 12 (26%), 9 of 21 (43%) and 5 of 15 (33%) informati
Genetic changes, in particular the loss o f heterozygosity (LOH) and the presence of c-Ha-ras codon 61 point mutations, were investigated in diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) in C3H/MSM F, mice. (MSM are wild mice.) LOH analysis of 48 primary tumors with microsatellite prob
