Abstract excerpt
Chromosome 5p, especially 5p15, involves in several cancers. To investigate its role in gastric cancer, we analyzed 46 intestinal-type and 34 diffuse-type gastric cancers by Loss of heterozygosity (LOH). We found a high frequent LOH at 5p15.33, and identified a minimal 2.7 cM candidate region of tumor suppressor gene, encompassing four loci (D5S417, D5S2849, D5S1492 and D5S2088). In total 80 cases, the highest...
