Identification of two candidate tumor suppressor genes on chromosome 17p13.3.

Abstract excerpt

A second tumor suppressor locus on 17p that is distinct from TP53 has been identified in brain, breast, lung, and ovarian tumors. Using allelic loss mapping and positional cloning methods, we have recently identified two novel genes, which we refer to as OVCA1 and OVCA2, that map to 17p13.3. The two genes are ubiquitously expressed and encode proteins of 443 and 227 amino acids, respectively, with no known...
