Analysis of loss of heterozygosity for chromosome 10 in patients with malignant astrocytic tumors: correlation with patient age and survival
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
OBJECT: The most frequent genetic abnormality in human malignant gliomas is loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 10. Candidate genes on chromosome 10 that are associated with the prognosis of patients with anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) and glioblastoma (GBM) were evaluated. METHODS: The authors used 12 fluorescent microsatellite markers on both arms of chromosome 10 to study LOH in 108 primary astrocytic...
