Abstract excerpt
One of the most common chromosomal abnormalities in prostate cancer involves loss of 10q22-qter. Rarely, a smaller deletion, involving 10q24-q25, has been observed, suggesting the presence of a tumor suppressor gene at this site. We previously demonstrated that the MXI1 gene maps to 10q24-q25 and...
