| pubmed-article:10218465 | pubmed:abstractText | It has already been reported that loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 1p is frequent in a variety of human cancers. This finding implies the presence of some important tumour suppressor genes in this region. p73, a candidate tumour suppressor gene identified recently in chromosome band 1p36.33, encodes a protein highly homologous to p53. To investigate the role of the p73 gene in human carcinogenesis, we studied genetic alterations of this gene in various human cancers. | lld:pubmed |
