Abstract excerpt
In an effort to identify the functional alleles associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we investigated 152 genes found in the 4q21-25 region that exhibited loss of heterozygosity (LOH). A total of 2,293 pairs of primers were designed for 1,449 exonic and upstream promoter regions to amplify and sequence 76.8-114 Mb on human chromosome 4. Based on the results from analyzing 12 HCC patients and 12 healthy...
