Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor gene locus is known to be partly responsible for the tumorigenesis of sporadic gliomas, but the genetic events that drive the neoplastic process of this tumor remain largely unknown. We correlated the results of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis on chromosomes 10 and 17 and a point mutation analysis of a tumor suppressor gene, p53, in 21 patients with astrocytomas at different stages.
