Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Loss effecting the short arm of chromosome 3 occurs in nearly 60% of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (SCCHN). Karyotype analysis indicated that these losses occur in two regions, 3p13-p14 and 3p21-p24. To test these findings, we examined tumor DNA from 38 SCCHN cell lines for heterozygosity and homozygosity at 6 polymorphic loci spanning this region. METHODS: The polymerase chain...
