Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal aberrations associated with lung cancer are frequently observed in the long arm of chromosome 6. A candidate susceptibility locus at 6q23-25 for lung cancer was recently identified; however, no tumor suppressor genes inactivated by mutation have been identified in this locus. Genetic, epigenetic, gene expression, and in silico screening approaches were used to select 43 genes located in 6q12-27 for...
