Hepatocellular 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 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 کاملDefinition and refinement of chromosome 8p regions of loss of heterozygosity in gastric cancer.
Loss of heterozygosity at several chromosomal loci is a common feature of the malignant progression of human tumors. These regions are thought to harbor one or more putative tumor suppressor gene(s) playing a role in tumor development. Allelic losses on the short arm of chromosome 8 (8p) have been reported as frequent events in several cancers, and three commonly deleted regions have been defin...
متن کاملThe relationship between global methylation level, loss of heterozygosity, and microsatellite instability in sporadic colorectal cancer.
PURPOSE The relationship between global hypomethylation, chromosomal instability (CIN), and microsatellite instability (MSI) remains unclear in colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between global methylation status, loss of heterozygosity (LOH), and MSI in sporadic colorectal cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We determined global methylation levels in 80 spor...
