Chromosome 22q in pancreatic endocrine tumors: identification of a homozygous deletion and potential prognostic associations of allelic deletions
1 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: A variety of human tumors frequently show allelic deletions of chromosome 22q, suggesting that inactivation of one or more tumor suppressor genes in this region is important for their tumorigenesis. METHODS: In this study, 23 patients with pancreatic endocrine tumors (PETs), including gastrinomas, VIPomas and non-functioning islet cell carcinomas, were analyzed for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on...
