Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of 17p has been previously studied with conventional Southern blot-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, but the relatively low informativity was an obstacle to extensive analysis. To overcome this problem and to investigate the significance of 17p LOH in gastric carcinoma, we employed polymerase chain reaction and subsequent silver staining of DNA....
