Abstract excerpt
Loss of genes at specific chromosomal loci is a characteristic of retinoblastoma, Wilms' tumour, transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, embryonal tumours and small cell carcinoma of the lung. The significance of nonrandom gene loss in these neoplasms is that gene loss on one chromosome may uncover null mutations at corresponding loci of the homologous chromosome. Loss of specific gene products from somatic...
