We have extended our LOH analysis of chromosome 3p to include 102 ovarian tumor specimens (29 and 73 samples were previously examined for LOH of chromosome 3p and 17 markers, respectively), using additional polymorphic markers, to assess the coordinate LOH of loci representing the three chromosome 3p minimal regions of deletions [von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL), thyroid hormone receptor beta, and fragile histidine triad (FHIT)] and LOH of other important loci [tumor protein 53 (TP53), breast cancer 1 early onset (BRCA1), breast cancer 2 early onset, retinoblastoma 1, ornithine carbamoyltransferase, and androgen receptor] or somatic mutations in TP53.
