Abstract excerpt
A comprehensive genome scan for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in 33 renal cell carcinomas indicates that mutations of tumor suppressor genes on several different chromosomes are required for malignant transformation in this disease. In the case of nonpapillary renal carcinomas chromosomes 3p, 6q, 8p, 9pq, and 14q exhibit elevated levels of LOH. Although 3p is the most frequently lost chromosome arm, in no case is...
