Abstract excerpt
Loss of genetic material, corresponding to chromosomal deletions, has been detected in a wide range of tumours and may indicate the position of a tumour suppressor gene. In order to identify the position of such a gene more precisely, many tumour samples must be studied until a minimum consensus deletion is characterized. This process is particularly necessary for lung tumours in which the deletion in chromosome...
