Abstract excerpt
The presence of a tumour suppressor gene on chromosome 7q is indicated by cytogenetic, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and chromosome transfer studies. One candidate gene in this region is Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). The PAI-1 gene product is involved in proteolysis and may therefore influence tumour spread and invasion. We have analysed a series of 139 ovarian epithelial tumours at four loci in the...
