Abstract excerpt
Colorectal carcinogenesis is associated with the accumulation of genetic changes involving both dominant oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Although at least four different genes have been implicated in the process, the detection of allele loss from other regions of the genome suggests the involvement of additional genes. The short arm of chromosome 8 is one of these regions; loss of heterozygosity occurs at...
