Mapping of candidate region for chordoma development to 1p36.13 by LOH analysis

Abstract excerpt

Various cytogenetic and molecular findings indicate 1p36 loss as a consistent change in sporadic and inherited chordoma, a rare embryogenetic neoplasm arising from notochord remnants. We studied 27 sporadic chordomas by means of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of 31 microsatellites localized to the 1p36.32-36.11 region, and restricted the minimal LOH interval shared by 85% of the tumours to 1p36.13. We also used...
