Abstract excerpt
The tumors of patients with small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) frequently exhibit the loss of alleles at polymorphic loci on the short arm of chromosome 3. We report the genotype analysis of six SCLC patients obtained using 15 chromosome 3 probes that identified 19 restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Five of the six patients were reduced to homozygosity in the tumor DNA at every informative 3p locus,...
