✦ Synopsis

We examined 88 nonpapillary renal cell carcinomas for allelic loss at chromosome arm 14q and correlated the results to size, grade, and stage of these tumors. Fourteen highly polymorphic microsatellite markers on the long arm of chromosome 14 were used for deletion mapping. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the smallest overlapping segment of 14q24.2-qter was seen in 42 of 88 tumors. There was no significant correlation between frequency of 14q LOH and size of tumors (P 5 0.11). LOH was frequently seen in grade 2 and 3 tumors (55% and 73%, respectively) and in stage III and IV tumors (53% and 80%, respectively). We found a significant correlation between chromosome arm 14q LOH and nuclear grade (P , 0.001) and stage (P , 0.001) of tumors. These observations indicate the presence of a tumor-suppressor gene at chromosome segment 14q24.2-qter and demonstrate the usefulness of microsatellite analysis for assessing the possible clinical outcome of nonpapillary renal cell carcinomas.

Loss of imprinting (LOI) of the igf 2 and h19 genes has been found not only in embryonal tumors but also in common adult cancers. To determine any possible role of genomic imprinting in the development of renal-cell carcinomas (RCCs), we examined the imprinting status of igf 2 and h19 in a series of

Forty-four breast carcinomas were studied for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 25 microsatellite markers distributed almost evenly along chromosome arm 22q. LOH at at least one marker were observed in 66% tumors, while 6 regions of consistent LOH were identified. The size of each region ranged betwee

The genetic lesions that lead to the development of small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) remain incompletely defined. To identify recurrent allelic deletions in specific chromosomal regions that could serve as markers for tumor suppressor gene (TSG) inactivation in SCLC, we performed a comprehensive all

In this study, 105 non-papillary renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) have been examined for allelic loss at the chromosome 8p12-21.1, 9p21, and 14q24.2-qter regions, each by two highly polymorphic microsatellites. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was detected at both chromosome 8p and 9p in 33 per cent of the

Several lines of evidence suggest that the progression of head-and-neck squamous-cell carcinoma (HNSCC) involves inactivation of at least one and possibly several tumorsuppressor genes on the long arm of chromosome 13. The fact that neither Rb1 nor BRCA2 appears to be inactivated in the majority of
