Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 1q in human breast cancer.
Cytogenetic markers involving the long arm of chromosome 1 are the most frequently observed karyotypic changes seen in breast cancer. Based on cytogenetic data, we have used polymorphic DNA markers to search for allelic losses at this chromosome region among 48 breast carcinomas. For SPTA1, allelic losses were seen in 6 of 26 (23%) informative carcinomas, while 3 of 13 (23%) and 5 of 19 (26%) i...
متن کاملFrequent loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 9 in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) affecting chromosome 9p has been shown to occur frequently in head and neck cancer, glioma, mesothelioma, melanoma, lung cancer, and numerous other tumor types. Chromosome 9p is therefore presumed to contain a tumor suppressor gene or genes. Since esophageal cancer shares characteristics with some of the above tumor types, we performed a detailed examination of 60 p...
متن کاملFrequent 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 کاملFrequent loss of heterozygosity on chromosomes 1q, 5q, and 17p in human gastric carcinomas.
Recently, loss or inactivation of genes at specific chromosomal loci has been considered to be one of the important mechanisms during the development of human tumors. In order to identify tumor suppressor genes for gastric carcinoma, we performed restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis on 48 human gastric carcinomas. Allele losses were investigated for 14 specific loci on chromosomes ...
متن کاملLoss of heterozygosity of chromosome 1q in gastrinomas: occurrence and prognostic significance.
A proportion of gastrinomas demonstrates aggressive growth, and most deaths occur in this group. Little is known about the molecular pathogenesis of growth of this tumor, and there are no predictive factors that are useful in an individual patient. Chromosome 1 (Chr 1) loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is frequent in a number of nonendocrine tumors and in a few endocrine tumors, and its presence can...
