We studied chromosome 10q loss of heterozygosity and PTEN/MMAC1 gene inactivation in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Fifty-four cases of RCCs were analysed by three 10q RFLP markers. Forty one of them were heterozygous for at least one of the markers, of which fourteen showed LOH (34%). Six tumors which showed 10q deletion for RFLP markers and six randomly selected tumors without RFLP LOH were included in an extended...
