Loss of heterozygosity and the origin of meningioma

Human Genetics, 1987
In some human tumors, loss of particular genes manifested indirectly by loss of heterozygosity for specific RFLPs seems to uncover either heterozygous deletions leading to a gene doses effect or homozygous deletions due to a silent allele at the corresponding locus, both causing the loss of regulatory functions (antioncogenes, suppressor genes ...

Loss of heterozygosity of the PTCH gene in ameloblastoma

Human Pathology, 2012
Ameloblastoma is a locally aggressive benign neoplasm derived from odontogenic epithelium, with high recurrence rates. Alterations in the Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway, including PTCH gene mutations, have been associated with the pathogenesis of some odontogenic tumors.

LOSS OF HETEROZYGOSITY - ORIGIN OR RESULT OF CARCINOGENESIS

International Journal of Oncology, 1993
Loss of heterozygosity has recently been discussed in the field of carcinogenesis, since loss of tumor suppressor gene has been believed to play a key role in carcinogenesis. However, recent evidence suggests that the loss of heterozygosity is a non-specific process in tumor progression rather than a specific process of carcinogenesis.

Loss of heterozygosity and p53 expression in Pterygium

Cancer Letters, 2004
While the pathogenesis of pterygium is still not well understood, environmental factors such at UV light, appear to play an important role in its development. UV radiation can cause mutations in genes such as the p53 tumor suppressor gene, that when inactivated through mutation and loss of heterozygosity can lead to cell proliferation and genomic ...

Loss of heterozygosity analysis in malignant gliomas

Brain Tumor Pathology, 2011
Despite recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of glioblastomas, patient outcomes for these highly malignant tumors remain poor. Research into the molecular pathology of glioblastoma has uncovered various genetic changes that contribute to malignancy.

Loss of heterozygosity in human skin

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1999
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is a genetic mechanism by which a heterozygous somatic cell becomes either homozygous or hemizygous because the corresponding wild-type allele is lost. LOH has today been recognized as a major cause of malignant growth. This article gives a comprehensive review of skin disorders in which an origin from LOH has been either ...

Loss of Heterozygosity of 14q32 in Colorectal Carcinoma

Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics, 1999
Previous allelotyping studies on colorectal carcinoma suggest that loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 14q may be a common genetic alteration in this tumor type. The purpose of this study was to determine precise frequency of LOH at 14q32 region in colorectal carcinomas and to define a minimal region of LOH. LOH at 14q32 in 66 primary colorectal

Frequent loss of heterozygosity at 6q in pheochromocytoma

Human Pathology, 2006
Multiple genetic alterations have been associated with pheochromocytoma (PCC). Most PCCs are sporadic, but they also occur in inherited tumor syndromes, including von Hippel-Lindau disease. Although the etiology of most inherited PCCs is well documented, little is known about the etiology of sporadic tumors.

Loss of heterozygosity in human germinal tumors

Cytogenetics and Cell Genetics, 2008
The frequency of losses of heterozygosity has been investigated in 14 germinal tumors of the testis. Nonrandom deletion of whole or part of chromosome 11 was observed in four cases. In addition, loss of heterozygosity of all the informative loci analyzed was detected in one ovarian teratoma, indicating its post-meiotic origin.

LOHAS: loss‐of‐heterozygosity analysis suite

Genetic Epidemiology, 2011
AbstractDetection of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) plays an important role in genetic, genomic and cancer research. We develop computational methods to estimate the proportion of homozygous SNP calls, identify samples with structural alterations and/or unusual genotypic patterns, cluster samples with close LOH structures and map the genomic segments ...
