To determine the minimal region of deletion on 21q22 in gastric cancer, we performed a high-density loss of heterozygosity (LOH) study with eight polymorphic microsatellite markers. Among the 43 tumors examined, 20 (50%) of 40 informative carcinomas showed LOH at one or more loci. The peak LOH frequency was identified at D21S1820 (34.2%) in 21q22.3. This data suggests that this locus might harbor a new tumor suppressor gene in an area <0.332 Mb in physical map distance defined by D21S1820 and D21S49. Thus, we speculate that trefoil factor family 1 (TFF1), located in this narrow region, might be the most probable candidate gene involved in gastric cancer carcinogenesis.
为了确定胃癌中21q22上的最小缺失区域,我们使用八个多态性微卫星标记进行了高密度杂合性缺失(LOH)研究。在检测的43个肿瘤中,40个信息丰富的癌中有20个(50%)在一个或多个位点显示出LOH。在21q22.3的D21S1820处确定了最高的LOH频率(34.2%)。该数据表明,在由D21S1820和D21S49定义的物理图谱距离<0.332 Mb的区域中,该位点可能含有一个新的肿瘤抑制基因。因此,我们推测位于这个狭窄区域的三叶因子家族1(TFF1)可能是参与胃癌致癌作用的最有可能的候选基因。
