Abstract excerpt
AIMS: It has already been reported that loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 1p is frequent in a variety of human cancers. This finding implies the presence of some important tumour suppressor genes in this region. p73, a candidate tumour suppressor gene identified recently in chromosome band 1p36.33, encodes a protein highly homologous to p53. To investigate the role of the p73 gene in human...
