BACKGROUND: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 13q is one of the most common chromosomal alterations in high-stage prostate cancer, yet little is known about genetic changes in earlier-stage prostate cancer. METHODS: We used five microsatellite markers at 13q14, 21, and 33 to compare LOH frequencies in 51 lesions of high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN), 21 cases of incidental prostate cancers...
