Abstract excerpt
Most human cancers are characterized by genetic instabilities. Chromosomal aberrations include segments of allelic imbalance identifiable by loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at polymorphic loci, which may be used to implicate regions harboring tumor suppressor genes. Here we performed whole-genome LOH profiling on 41 human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines. Several frequent LOH regions were...
