Loss of heterozygosity at chromosome 9p21 (INK4-p14ARF locus): homozygous deletions and mutations in the: p16: and: p14ARF: genes in sporadic primary …

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was determined in 45 sporadic primary melanomas at six
polymorphic microsatellite markers that flank the INK4a (p16-p14 ARF) locus on
chromosome 9p21. We also determined allelic loss at two markers on chromosome 9q and
two markers at the Rb locus on chromosome 13. Homozygous deletion of the p16 and p14
ARF genes was determined by a fluorescent-based quantitative multiplex polymerase chain
reaction method. LOH at one or more polymorphic microsatellite markers on locus 9p21 was …
