Abstract excerpt
Cytogenetic investigations of malignant mesothelioma (MM) have revealed frequent losses in chromosomes 13 and 14, suggesting that inactivation of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) residing in these chromosomes may contribute to mesothelial cell tumorigenesis. To define the shortest region of overlap (SRO) of deletions from these chromosomes, we performed loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analyses on 30 MMs using 25...
