Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PAC) is a rare pancreatic tumor for which no information about chromosomal and gene anomalies is available. We performed genome-wide allelotyping of 9 PACs using DNA from 5 frozen and 4 paraffin-embedded samples and 76 PCR-amplified, chromosome-specific microsatellite markers. High degrees of allelic loss were found, with a mean fractional allelic loss of 0.33. Chromosomes 1p, 4q...
