Genetic alterations in the peritumoral stromal cells of malignant and borderline epithelial ovarian tumors as indicated by allelic imbalance on chromosome 3p
22 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Stromal accumulation of hyaluronan in epithelial ovarian cancers is an independent predictor of tumor spreading and unfavorable outcome of the disease. We started to screen for chromosomal causes of this accumulation by studying deletions in 3p21.3, a region harboring 3 hyaluronidase genes (HYAL1-3) among other potentially important tumor suppressors. Using 6 microsatellite markers from this region, allelic...
