Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is a critical event in the development of human cancers. LOH is thought to result from either a large deletion or recombination between homologous alleles during repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). These types of genetic alterations produce mutations in the TK gene mutation assay, which detects a wide mutational spectrum, ranging from point mutations to LOH-type mutations. TK6,...
