We demonstrate that PCR amplification of human genomic DNA can be used for the detection of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in tumor samples. A 250-bp fragment containing codon 72 of the human p53 gene was amplified, ThaI digested and electrophoresed. Tumor LOH is detectable both by ethidium bromide staining and autoradiography, despite 25% contamination with normal DNA. This technique provides a fast and reproducible alternative to conventional Southern blotting and has minimal sample requirements.
