Thirty cases of breast cancer were cytogenetically studied by G-banding using direct tumor preparations. Among them 20 cases exhibited abnormalities of the long and/or short arm of chromosome 11. Thus, 11q was involved in 16 cases and 11p in ten cases. There was consistent involvement of bands 11q23-24 (15 cases) and 11p15 (9 cases), where the cellular oncogenes ets and H-ras 1, respectively, are located. These findings suggest that involvement of bands 11q23-24 and 11p15 may be specific in a group of breast cancers, leading to the activation of cellular oncogenes or loss of cancer suppressor genes.

Elucidation of the basic genetic changes of human hepatocellular carcinoma is important for the understanding and treatment of this cancer. We used microsatellite polymorphism markers to study 30 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (34 tumours) on all human chromosomes. DNA from 34 pairs of hepatocellular carcinomas and corresponding non-tumour parts was prepared.

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 11 is frequently altered in various epithelial cancers. The present study was designed to investigate LOH on chromosome 11 in microdissected samples of normal prostatic epithelium and invasive carcinoma from the same patients. For this purpose, DNA was extracted from the microdissected normal and tumor cells of 38 prostate cancers, amplified by polymerase chain reaction PCR and analyzed for LOH on chromosome 11 using 9 different polymorphic DNA markers (D11S1307, D11S989, D11S1313, D11S898, D11S940, D11S1818, D11S924, D11S1336 and D11S912).
