Our previous work has shown that a number of genes locating on 1q21 were down-regulated in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) and they may involve in carcinogenesis. To determine whether chromosome 1q LOH occurs in ESCC, we analyzed LOH in 61 ESCCs using 18 microsatellite markers on chromosome 1q. Forty-six of 61 (75.4%) tumors presented LOH at one or more loci. A significant association was found between chromosome 1q LOH and histopathological grade. LOH on D1S3466 had a negative correlation with family history, whereas LOH on D1S2777 positively correlated with smoking. These results suggest this region harbor putative tumor suppressor gene(s) contributing to tumorigenesis and differentiation in ESCC.
