Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Because loss of chromosome 9 is known to be the most common finding in human bladder tumors, we studied the mutation of the tumor suppressor gene TSC1 (chromosome 9q34) in bladder tumors. Since another tumor suppressor gene, TSC2 (chromosome 16p13.3), is reported to interact with TSC1 in the pathway that modulates tumor suppression, we assessed loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 16p13.3. Furthermore, we...
