Abstract excerpt
We examined loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in 14 aldosterone-producing adrenal tumors, with six linearly ordered restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers that map within a 12-cM region containing the MEN1 locus on 11q13. Among 11 tumors that were informative for at least one marker, five showed LOH at one or more loci, and two distinct regions of deletion were identified. The proximal region...
