Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Previously, we demonstrated that the LOT1 (PLAGL1/ZAC1) gene encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor and has growth suppressive effects in carcinoma cell lines. The gene is localized on chromosome 6q24-25, a common site for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in many solid tumors including ovarian cancer. In this study, we evaluated the LOT1 gene expression and allelic deletion in the tumor tissues in...
