We have carried out a screening for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in 51 children with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Forty-six highly polymorphic microsatellite markers located in subtelomeric areas of every chromosome arm were analyzed in each patient. Allelic losses were encountered at 21 of the 46 loci tested (46%). The frequency of LOH at a given locus was usually < 10% and fractional allelic...
