Esophageal cancer ranks among the 10 most common cancers worldwide and is almost invariably fatal. The detailed genetic repertoire involved in esophageal carcinogenesis has not been defined. We have shown previously that the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma genome exhibits a frequent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the pericentromeric region of chromosome 18. To construct a fine deletion map, we screened 76 new...
