Using a polymerase chain reaction/microsatellite marker system, we demonstrated that 6 of 22 (27%) clinical stage B (early) primary prostate tumors showed loss of heterozygosity at one or more of five loci on chromosome 17. The sensitivity of this study was increased by use of a PhosphorImager and statistical analysis of replicate tumor-normal DNA pairs. Two patients showed tumor-specific interstitial loss at a locus in close proximity to the familial breast cancer gene BRCA1. These findings suggest that genes on the proximal long arm of chromosome 17 play a pivotal role in the early development of at least a subset of prostatic tumors.
