Abstract excerpt
Deletions of tumour-suppressor genes can be detected by loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies, which were performed on 23 cases of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus, using 120 microsatellite primers covering all non-acrocentric autosomal chromosome arms. The chromosomal arms most frequently demonstrating LOH were 3p (64% of tumours), 5q (45%), 9p (52%), 11p (61%), 13q (50%), 17p (96%), 17q (55%) and 18q (70%). LOH...
