Abstract excerpt
Ninety-four esophageal squamous cell carcinomas were examined for loss of heterozygosity at several loci on the long arm of chromosome 17 (17q), using restriction fragment length polymorphism markers. Loss of heterozygosity was observed in 56 (62%) of 91 tumors that were informative with at least one marker. Comparison of these results with clinicopathological data indicated that the losses on chromosome 17q had...
