Abstract excerpt
Studies on the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in human malignancies have shown that a number of different chromosomal regions associated with putative tumor suppressor genes may be involved in any one given tumor. We have carried out a similar study on Wilms' tumor using a range of DNA markers for a number of tumor suppressor regions. We tested a total of 44 Wilms' tumors including material from bilateral cases and...
