Abstract excerpt
Human chromosome band 1p36 commonly undergoes loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but the minimal deleted region remains to be mapped. This chromosomal region contains a candidate HCC suppressor gene, RIZ (PRDM2), that is a member of the PR (PRDI-BF1-RIZ homology)-domain-containing zinc finger gene family. One characteristic of this family is the unusual yin-yang involvement in human...
