Abstract excerpt
Paired samples of hepatocellular carcinoma and non-tumorous hepatic tissue from 12 southern African blacks were examined for loss of heterozygosity at two loci (D4S409 and D4S392) in chromosome 4q12-q13 (mapping to the same region as the locus for the gene for alpha-fetoprotein). Deoxyribonucleic acid was extracted from carcinoma and non-tumorous tissues and amplified using the polymerase chain reaction. The...
