ABSTRACT Allelotypic detection of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) has been used to identify putative tumour-suppressor genes. Loci on human chromosome 11q23 are frequently altered in malignant


disease, and LOH has been reported at an anonymous D11S29 locus at 11q23 in a proportion of breast and ovarian cancers and malignant melanomas. Previous studies have reported a high


frequency of LOH in cervical carcinoma mapping to 11q23. Using polymerase chain reaction techniques employing probes for a recently described polymorphic dinucleotide microsatellite within


this locus, we have searched for LOH in 69 cases of invasive cervical carcinoma. Genomic material was microdissected from sections cut from archival paraffin-embedded material, using the


patients' constitutional genotype as a control Sixty-two (90%) of the cases were informative, and LOH occurred in 25/62 (40%) of tumours. Loss of an arm or single chromosome 11 is a


well-recognised event in cervical carcinoma, and by employing other microsatellite polymorphisms mapping to 11q13 and 11p11-p12 we excluded those cases with widespread allelic loss. By doing


so, LOH at D11S29 was found in 16/53 (30%) of tumours. The findings suggest a putative tumour-suppressor gene on 11q involved in cervical carcinogenesis. Access through your institution Buy
