Abstract excerpt
Allelic imbalance (AI) on chromosome arm 22q has been detected in 20%-40% of colorectal cancers, suggesting that this chromosome arm has a tumor-suppressor gene involved in colorectal carcinogenesis. Recently, we isolated a candidate tumor-suppressor gene, MYO18B, at 22q12.1, that is deleted, mutated, and hypermethylated in more than 50% of lung cancers. In the present study, we analyzed genetic and epigenetic...
