Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Allelic loss at chromosome 4q21-23 occurs frequently in human hepatocellular carcinoma, and the putative tumor suppressor gene (TSG) has not yet been identified. We studied the Fas-associated phosphatase-1 (FAP-1) gene as a potential candidate TSG in this region. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The expression level of FAP-1 RNA in hepatocellular carcinomas was evaluated by RNase protection and quantitative PCR....
