Abstract excerpt
The loss of chromosome 10 is the most frequent genetic alteration found in malignant astrocytomas. In particular, the long arm of chromosome 10 was previously reported to have two or more common deletion regions where tumor suppressor genes may be located. In this study, we performed deletion mapping of 44 malignant astrocytomas using 12 microsatellite markers on chromosome 10q and demonstrated that the minimal...
