Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the involvement of abnormalities of the MTS1/p16 and MTS2/p15 genes located at chromosomal region 9p21 in human lung cancers, we analyzed DNA from 30 primary lung cancers and detected loss of heterozygosity at the 9p21-p23 region in 15 tumors. Single-strand-conformation-polymorphism analysis of polymerase-chain-reaction products from the MTS1 and MTS2 genes and determination of the nucleotide...
