Abstract excerpt
To identify the tumor suppressor genes (TSG) associated with non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC), we performed the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis in NSCLC samples from 66 patients. We focused on the novel hot spot region on 15q14-24 with eight polymorphic microsatellite markers. Frequent allelic loss was detected in 33 of 48 informative cases (69%) at D15S984 on 15q23. We defined the fine map on the region...
