Abstract
Allelic losses at 1p32-pter have been reported as frequent events in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To further characterize the region of deletions, we studied loss of heterozygosity on a panel of 102 microdissected NSCLC samples with 20 polymorphic markers spanning 1p32-pter. Two shortest regions of the overlap of the deletions (SROs) were found: SRO 2a (D1S417--D1S57) and SRO 2b (D1S450--D1S243). Allelic losses at either region correlated independently with advanced stage of disease and with postoperative metastasis and relapse (P < 0.05), suggesting that crucial genes in these regions are involved in NSCLC progression.
