Loss of heterozygosity from the short arm of chromosome 8 is associated with invasive behavior in breast cancer
1 Jul 1996
Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) from the short arm of chromosome 8 (8p) is frequent in many human cancers, including breast, colon, prostate, and bladder cancers. LOH occurs in two regions of 8p, 8p21 and 8p22, and suggests the presence of two separate tumor suppressor genes. In breast cancers, 8p LOH occurs in both early and late clinical stage tumors, while in colon, prostate, and bladder cancers, there is an...
