Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that allelic losses in a locus mapping to the chromosomal region 4p14-16 are indicative of poor prognosis in colorectal cancer. To further characterize the region involved and to confirm earlier observations, we have analyzed losses of heterozygosity (LOH) in nine microsatellite markers spanning this region in a prospective series of 181 colorectal carcinomas. The extent and the nature...
