Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) reduces genes to hemizygosity in cancer cells and presents an absolute difference between normal and cancer cells. The regions of LOH are usually much larger than the tumor suppressor gene, which is lost, and are expected to contain genes that are essential for cell survival. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common type of genetic variation in man, often giving rise...
