Abstract excerpt
We performed a whole-genome loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis of 32 cases of acute myeloid leukemia with normal karyotype using high-density single nucleotide polymorphism arrays. LOH was found in 20% of cases. We identified two types of LOH: (i) interstitial, characterized by small deletions of genomic DNA (2-8 Mb), and (ii) terminal, involving large (30-90 Mb) telomeric regions. Surprisingly, terminal LOH...
