Abstract excerpt
Loss of a whole chromosome 7(-7) or a deletion of the long arm of chromosome 7 del(7q) occurs frequently in many types of primary cancers including cases of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). We analyzed for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosome arm 7q in 26 AML cases using a set of 15 microsatellite markers in order to begin to determine the location of putative tumor suppressor genes (TSG) important to this...
