Alterations of the distal portion of the short arm of chromosome 1 (1p) are among the earliest abnormalities of human colorectal tumours. Recently, we have cloned the Aflatoxin B1 aldehyde reductase (AFAR) gene from a smallest region of overlapping deletion that is frequently (48%) hemizygously deleted in sporadic colorectal cancer. AFAR is expressed in a broad range of tissues. Its closely related rat protein is...
