Abstract excerpt
The retinoblastoma (Rb) gene was the first tumor suppressor gene to be discovered; however, data on the influence of Rb inactivation on endometrial carcinogenesis are scarce. We investigated 46 paired primary human endometrial carcinomas and normal tissues to assess the frequency of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in Rb and 20 tumor pairs to detect the frequency of p53 LOH. Moreover, expression of the retinoblastoma...
