Abstract excerpt
Allelic loss and translocation are critical mutational events in human tumorigenesis. Allelic loss, which is usually identified as loss of heterozygosity (LOH), is frequently observed at tumor suppressor loci in various kinds of human tumors. It is generally thought to result from deletion or mitotic recombination between homologous chromosomes. In this report, we demonstrate that illegitimate (nonhomologous)...
