Abstract excerpt
We studied loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in chromosome 7q in order to determine the location of a putative tumor suppressor gene (TSG) in human epithelial ovarian carcinomas. Samples were obtained from 26 primary ovarian carcinomas at the time of staging laparotomy. Paired normal and tumoral DNAs...
