Abstract excerpt
DCC gene located at chromosome 18q21.3 is an important tumor-supressor gene associated with tumorigenesis and progression, especially in colorectal carcinomas. Adopting Southern blot technique and RFLP analysis, 33 primary Chinese colorectal cancer patients were examined for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of DCC gene. Among 16 informative cases, 6 (38%) showed allelic deletion. 18q LOH was correlated with lymph...
