Abstract excerpt
Karyotypic and molecular data indicate that genetic alterations of the long arm of chromosome 11 (11q) are involved in the pathogenesis of malignant melanoma as well as of other malignancies. We have shown previously, by analysis of loss of heterozygosity (LOH), that a tumor-suppressor gene playing an important role in malignant melanoma is likely to be located within a 51-cM region at 11q23. Its loss appeared to...
