Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the site of the retinoblastoma (RB1) gene, at 13q14, has been shown to occur in a high proportion of ovarian cancer patients. Based on this, RB1 gene inactivation was studied in primary tumor cells from 15 patients with ovarian cancer. Structural changes as well as expression of the RB1 gene were investigated. One patient had a nondisjunctional deletion at the RB1 locus, and the...
