Abstract excerpt
Hepatoblastomas (HBs), representing malignant liver tumors of childhood, show frequent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the chromosomal region 11p15.5. This loss is of maternal origin suggesting the presence of a monoallelically expressed tumor suppressor gene in this region. p57(KIP2) (KIP2) located at 11p15.5 is predominantly expressed from the maternal allele and encodes a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. We...
