Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (allele loss, LOH) occurs frequently on the long arm of chromosome 11 in several types of cancer. We analysed 32 melanomas (almost all metastatic lesions) for allele loss at eight loci along the length of chromosome 11 (ptel-D11S922-D11S899-D11S1324-D11S1313-++ +D11S901-NCAM-D11S29-D11S968-qtel). The highest frequency of loss (38%) was at D11S29 (11q23.3). Of 13 melanomas which had lost an...
