Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity at 4 tumor-suppressor gene loci (p53, apc, mcc and Rb) was investigated using polymerase chain reactions, in 49 esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma specimens from patients who had undergone curative resection. Mutations in the p53 gene within exons 5 to 8 were also examined. LOH was detected in 9 (43%) of 21 p53 genes, 16 (55%) of 29 apc genes, 10 (48%) of 21 mcc genes, and 13 (52%) of 25 Rb...
