Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: One method to assess loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of various genes is the amplification of DNA from neoplastic tissue by using microsatellite markers. LOH can best be considered on a quantitative basis as a comparison of allelic ratios of neoplastic tissue to that of the normal control. We will illustrate through quantitative methods the importance of using the appropriate controls when determining...
