Abstract excerpt
The short arm of chromosome 3 is considered to harbor one or more of the tumor suppressor genes taking part in the genesis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). To define the localization of such putative tumor suppressor gene(s), we studied specific allelic loss on chromosome 3p by using 84 samples of RCC with nine microsatellite markers. We defined two commonly deleted regions in 3p14.3-p21.2: (1) region A, a 2-cM...
