Abstract excerpt
Dilution end point loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis, a novel approach for the analysis of LOH, was used to evaluate allelic losses with the use of 21 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers at nine chromosomal sites most frequently affected in smoking-related non-small cell lung cancers. Allelotyping was done for bronchial epithelial cells and matching blood samples from 23 former and current smokers and...
