Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of tumour-suppressor genes on the short arm of chromosome 3 in the mechanism of tumorigenesis in non-familial renal cell carcinoma, we analysed 55 paired blood-tumour DNA samples for allele loss on chromosome 3p and in the region of known or putative tumour-suppressor genes on chromosomes 5, 11, 17 and 22. Sixty-four per cent (35/55) of informative tumours showed loss of heterozygosity...
