Abstract excerpt
Our main purpose was to identify tumor suppressor gene loci on chromosome 13 responsible for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) development by analyzing loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and RB protein expression in paraffin embedded tissues. Normal and tumor DNA were extracted from microdissected samples, and their whole genomes were amplified using degenerate oligonucleotide primers. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
