A novel gene, termed p73, encodes a protein with a significant homology to p53 and has been mapped at chromosome 1p36.3, which is a locus of multiple suppressor genes for tumors including neuroblastoma and other cancers. Since the 1p36 locus is reported to be deleted and p53 is frequently mutated in esophageal carcinomas, we examined loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and mutation of the p73 gene in 48 untreated...
