Abstract excerpt
Numerous studies aimed at the identification of chromosomal regions that are frequently deleted in specific tumor types have pointed to the location and involvement of specific tumor suppressor genes. Previous studies of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) among thyroid tumors have revealed frequent all...
