Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recurrent deletion on a chromosomal location in tumor cells can be detected by frequent allelic loss and generally is considered to be an indication of the existence of a tumor suppressor gene (TSG) in the region. In the current study, using fluorescent-labeled, high-density microsatellite markers for allelotyping, the authors pinpointed three minimal deleted regions (MDRs) and screened mutations of...
