Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity in human chromosome 7q was studied to determine the location of a putative tumor suppressor gene. Twenty-six of 31 cases studied presented loss of heterozygosity at one or more loci on chromosome 7q. Eighty-three percent loss of heterozygosity (in 11 informative cases) was detected by using the (C-A)n microsatellite repeat marker D7S522 at 7q31.1-7q31.2. These results suggest that a tumor...
