Abstract excerpt
The 10q25-26 region between the dinucleotide markers D10S587 and D10S216 is deleted in glioblastomas and, as we have recently shown, in low-grade oligodendrogliomas. We further refined somatic mapping on 10q23-tel and simultaneously assessed the role of the candidate tumor suppressor gene PTEN/MM...
