Abstract excerpt
Previous reports have shown that one copy of the chromosome 17 was frequently lost in human ovarian cancers (1). The position of the allelic deletion has not been mapped and involvement of p53 gene has not been determined. In this study, we have shown that in human ovarian carcinoma, the commonest region of allelic loss in chromosome 17p is 17p 13.3 (65%) and 17p13.1 (63.7%; 6 out of 9 informative cases). Allelic...
