Abstract excerpt
Human chromosomes 1,4,6, and 9 harbor genes which induce cellular senescence in vitro but a role for their inactivation in human tumors is not established. To investigate this we searched for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on these chromosomes in keratinocyte cultures obtained from different stages of human squamous cell carcinoma progression. There was consistent LOH between markers D9S171 and D9S157 in 9 of 9...
