Frequent loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 14q in neuroblastoma.
Using 29 polymorphic DNA markers which detect allelic deletion of genes at specific loci on 19 different chromosomes, we analyzed 14 neuroblastomas for possible loss of chromosomal heterozygosity. The incidence of loss of heterozygosity was high at the D14S1 locus on chromosome 14q, being detected in six of 12 patients (50%). In spite of the cytogenetic finding suggesting high frequency of chro...
متن کاملHepatocellular Carcinoma, Colorectal Cancer, and Lung Frequent Loss of Heterozygosity for Loci on Chromosome 8p in
Frequent loss of heterozygosity at chromosomal loci in a specific tumor type may indicate the presence of a tumor suppressor gene. We have examined loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 8p in paired tumor and constitutional DNA from 346 patients representing seven different types of human cancer. Frequent allelic losses were observed in hepatocellular carcinoma (22 of 46 cases, 47.8%), in colorÃ...
متن کاملFrequent Loss of Heterozygosity at the Retinoblastoma
Mice bearing retinoblastoma susceptibility gene (RB) germ-line muta tions almost invariably develop pituitary neoplasms. We therefore tested 17 patients with pituitary tumors for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) using an RB sequence polymorphism and 5 polymorphic microsatellite markers surrounding the RB gene on the long arm of chromosome 13. In all of the 13 malignant or highly invasive pituitary ...
متن کاملAlterations of p16-pRb pathway and chromosome locus 9p21-22 in sporadic invasive breast carcinomas.
The p16-pRb pathway represents a vital cell-cycle checkpoint. In the present study we investigated the alterations of this G1-phase protein pathway using immunohistochemical and molecular methods in a series of 55 breast carcinomas and correlated the findings with clinicopathological features of the patients. Furthermore, we examined its relationship with the status of the chromosomal region 9p...
متن کاملFrequent loss of heterozygosity in the region including BRCA1 on chromosome 17q in squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus.
Ninety-four esophageal squamous cell carcinomas were examined for loss of heterozygosity at several loci on the long arm of chromosome 17 (17q), using restriction fragment length polymorphism markers. Loss of heterozygosity was observed in 56 (62%) of 91 tumors that were informative with at least one marker. Comparison of these results with clinicopathological data indicated that the losses on ...
