Abstract excerpt
Genome scanning at a 1-Mb resolution was undertaken in 29 lung cancer cell lines to clarify the distribution of homozygous (i.e., both allele) deletions along lung cancer genomes, using a high-resolution single nucleotide polymorphism array. Eighteen regions, including two known tumor suppressor loci, CDKN2A at 9p21 and FHIT at 3p14, were found homozygously deleted. Frequencies of deletions at the 18 regions were...
