Abstract excerpt
Loss of tumor suppressor gene expression via mutations plays a critical role in cancer development, particularly when occurring in heterozygous cells. These so-called "second-step" mutational events are often large in size and arise most often from chromosome loss, mitotic recombination, or interstitial deletion. An open question in cancer research is whether different chromosomes are equally susceptible to...
