Review of allelic loss and gain in prostate cancer.

Abstract excerpt

There are three nearly ubiquitous genomic "imbalances" in prostate cancer cells: 1) loss of sequences from the short arm of chromosomes 8, 2) loss of sequences from the long arm of chromosome 13q, and 3) gain of sequences on the long arm of chromosome 8, particularly in advanced disease. Candidate tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes affected by this trio of consistent changes include the c-myc gene on chromosome...
