Abstract excerpt
Because previous studies have shown that loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is common on chromosome arm 9p in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and that genetic alterations in CDKN2A and CDKN2B on 9p are also common, we sought to determine whether LOH and these genetic alterations are related. We performed LOH studies on chromosome bands 9p21-p22 and searched for genetic alterations of CDKN2A and CDKN2B in 56...
