متن کاملLoss of heterozygosity in tuberous sclerosis hamartomas.
We have previously described in tuberous sclerosis (TSC) hamartomas the phenomenon of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for DNA markers in the region of both the TSC2 gene on chromosome 16p13.3 and the TSC1 gene on 9q34. We now describe the spectrum of LOH in 51 TSC hamartomas from 34 cases of TSC. DNA was extracted from leucocytes or normal paraffin embedded tissue, and from frozen paraffin embedde...
متن کاملLoss of somatic heterozygosity in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Loss of tumor suppressor genes is involved in the mechanism of tumorigenesis of many solid tumors. We tested 9 hepatitis B virus (HBV)-positive and 10 HBV-negative hepatocellular carcinomas for loss of somatic heterozygosity using 14 polymorphic probes mapping to chromosomes 4, 11, 13, and 17. Losses were found on all chromosome arms tested. The highest frequency of loss was observed at the D13...
متن کاملDoes age influence loss of heterozygosity?
The striking correlation between advanced age and an increased incidence of cancer has led investigators to examine the influence of aging on genome maintenance. Because loss of heterozygosity (LOH) can lead to the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, and thus carcinogenesis, understanding the affect of aging on this type of mutation event is particularly important. Several factors may affec...
متن کاملLoss of heterozygosity in laryngeal cancer.
PURPOSE Head and neck cancers account for about 6% of all human cancers. Molecular changes leading to the disease development and progression still remain not fully explained. Examination of loss of heterozygosity (allelic loss, LOH) using the specific microsatellite markers is a method of choice in assessing tumour suppressor genes (TSGs) localisation in human genome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Th...
