Quantitative evaluation of genomic instability as a possible predictor for development of hepatocellular carcinoma: Comparison of loss of heterozygosity and replication error

Abstract excerpt

Both loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and replication error (RER) are considered to be phenotypes of genomic instability. To unveil the role of the genomic instability in hepatocarcinogenesis, frequencies of LOH and RER were simultaneously determined in 15 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), surrounding nontumorous liver tissues (SL), and 13 liver tissues with chronic viral hepatitis void of cancer (NC) by referencing...
