Genome-wide allelotyping of lung cancer identifies new regions of allelic loss, differences between small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, and loci clustering.

Abstract excerpt

To identify the major tumor suppressor gene (TSG) loci involved in the pathogenesis of lung cancer, we have conducted a high-resolution (10 cM), genome-wide search of loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Thirty-six lung cancer cell lines [14 small cell lung cancers (SCLCs) and 22 non-SCLCs (NSCLCs)] and their matched control DNAs were analyzed using 399 fluorescent microsatellite markers from the ABI Prism linkage...
