Abstract excerpt
The mutational inactivation of suppressor genes, a process required for cancer progression, generates new genetic subclones within a tumor. The allelic losses that frequently unmask these mutations serve not only as markers of the chromosomal locations of these genes but also as clonal fingerprin...
