Abstract excerpt
A subgroup of benign pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary glands is characterized by translocations, or on rare occasions deletions, with breakpoints at 3p21. We have applied restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis to assess the frequency of allelic losses at four different loci located within 3p21-->p25 in 35 pleomorphic adenomas, 18 of which were also karyotyped. Parallel analysis of...
