Abstract excerpt
Allelic imbalance or loss of heterozygosity (LOH) has been widely used to assess genetic instability in tumours, and high LOH on chromosome arms 3p, 9p and 17p has been considered to be a common event in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We have investigated allelic imbalance in 45 NSCLCs using 92 microsatellite markers on 38 chromosome arms. LOH of 38% was observed on 3p using nine markers, 58% on 9p using 15...
