PTEN/MMAC1 Mutation and Frequent Loss of Heterozygosity Identified in Chromosome 10q in a Subset of Hepatocellular Carcinomas
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
Frequent allelic losses on chromosome 10q have been reported in several types of cancers, suggesting the presence of a putative tumor suppressor gene(s) on the chromosomal arm. We examined loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 10q in 37 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) using eleven dinucleotide microsatellite markers, spanning the entire chromosome arm of 10q. Twelve (32%) out of 37 informative cases showed...
