Abstract excerpt
The consistent deletion of 3p21 in lung cancer has led to intensive efforts to identify a lung tumor suppressor gene at this locus. We recently mapped the gene for the selenium-dependent drug-detoxifying enzyme glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) to this location by in situ hybridization. We developed a polymerase chain reaction-based assay which demonstrated the existence of three GPX1 alleles characterized by the...
