Abstract excerpt
A variety of human cancers, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC), show frequent heterozygous deletion events in 3p21.3. An approximate 400-kb segment from within 3p21.3 is suspect of harboring a tumor suppressor gene, as it is homozygously deleted in three lung cancer cell lines and heterozygously deleted in virtually all lung tumors. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies of this segment are hampered by the...
