Abstract excerpt
Chromosome 10 deletions are among the most common genetic changes in highly malignant glial tumors. It has been noted that loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 10q23 is a frequent alteration in a variety of human tumors and occurs in approximately 70% of all glioblastomas. By mapping of homozygous deletions on 10q23, a candidate tumor suppressor gene has been isolated, called PTEN for "phosphatase and tensin homolog...
