Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 16 is a common genetic alteration in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To clarify the pathogenetic significance of allele loss on chromosome 16, we performed restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of 70 surgically resected tumors by using 15 polymorphic DNA markers for chromosome 16. Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 16 was detected in 36 (52%) of 69...
