Homozygous deletions of 9p21 in primary human bladder tumors detected by comparative multiplex polymerase chain reaction.

Abstract excerpt

Deletion mapping studies of primary bladder tumors have identified nonoverlapping areas of loss on each arm of chromosome 9, indicating that two distinct tumor suppressor loci are located on this chromosome. The deleted region on the p arm overlaps an area of 9p previously reported to be lost in a variety of neoplasms. Detailed loss of heterozygosity analysis of 9p in 112 primary bladder tumors using 12...
