Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) had been widely used to assess genetic instability in tumours and a high LOH on chromosome arms 3p, 9p and 17p has been considered to be a common event in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). We have investigated LOH in 52 SCCHN using a range of microsatellite markers. LOH was observed in 69% of individuals on 17p using seven markers, in 64% of individuals on 3p using...
