Several chromosomal regions exhibit loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in different types of human tumor, and on this basis are presumed to carry-suppressor genes. We studied 7 of such chromosome regions, including 3p, 5q, 11p, 13q, 17p, 18q and 22q, using a selected set of DNA markers in 44 Wilms' tumors, 64 breast and 83 colon carcinomas. In Wilms' tumor only the short arm of chromosome 11 was preferentially involved...
