Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 10q in glioblastomas, and its association with other genetic alterations and survival in Indian patients.
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant central nervous system neoplasm. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 10q in these tumors has been found to show variable association with prognosis. AIM To evaluate LOH 10q status in cases of GBM, and to correlate these results with patient characteristics, other genetic alterations, and survival. MATERIAL AND METH...
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 کاملLoss 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 کاملLoss of heterozygosity on chromosome 11 q in breast cancer.
AIMS Chromosome 11q23 seems to be a site of frequent mutation in cancer. It also contains loci such as ataxia telangiectasia with possible importance in the pathogenesis of breast tumours. The short arm of chromosome 11 has been studied extensively in breast cancer, but the long arm, in particular the distal part, has been studied less frequently. Cytogenetic analysis has shown possible involve...
متن کاملSignificance of chromosome 1p loss of heterozygosity in neuroblastoma.
We analyzed 156 primary neuroblastoma tumor samples for loss of heterozygosity at the distal short arm of chromosome 1 (1p LOH). We also compared 1p LOH with known clinical and genetic prognostic variables as well as patient outcome. 1p LOH was detected in 30 of 156 tumors (19%) and was strongly associated with adverse clinical and biological features. 1p LOH was also strongly predictive of a p...
