Genetic alterations of the long arm of chromosome 11 have been implicated in melanoma pathogenesis, and we recently identified two distinct regions of common allelic loss in chromosomal band 11q23. To establish the point in time of melanoma tumorigenesis at which these two putative tumor suppressor loci become relevant, we investigated allelic loss [loss of heterozygosity (LOH)] in both chromosomal regions in...
