Abstract excerpt
In order to understand the molecular genetics of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) a common chromosomal abnormality in HCC was examined using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. Sixty-eight HCC specimens were examined for loss of heterozygosity at 11 different chromosomal arms including 1p, 5p, 11p, 11q, 13q, 14q, 15q, 16p, 16q, 18q, and 19q. Losses were not detected on chromosome 1, 5,...
