Abstract excerpt
Loss of the wild-type allele of a tumor suppressor gene, or loss of heterozygosity (LOH), is one of the most important mechanisms of carcinogenesis. Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) has been used as a surrogate marker for tumor suppressor genes. We have previously shown that APRT deficien...
