Abstract excerpt
The chromosome 8p is associated with a large number of allelic imbalances in epithelial tumors including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, no tumor suppressor gene has been identified so far in this particular region of the genome. To further clarify the pattern of allelic deletions on chromosome 8p in HCC, we have undertaken high-density polymorphic marker analysis of 109 paired normal and primary tumor...
