Abstract excerpt
The carcinogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a multi-factor, multi-step, multi-gene and complicated process. Specific chromosome losses and corresponding inactivation of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) are frequently detected during the development of HCC. A high frequency of loss on chromosome 4q in HCC has been reported, suggesting that the dysfunction of specific TSGs on this chromosome arm is...
