Abstract excerpt
Deletions in 1p36 in malignant melanoma have been found in high percentages in nodular melanomas and melanoma metastases. Despite many efforts, no candidate tumour suppressor gene associated with malignant melanoma has so far been found in this region. To further determine a possible tumour suppressor gene locus, we carried out a deletion mapping of chromosome 1p36 at nine microsatellite loci in 74 malignant...
