    The PMAIP1 Gene on Chromosome 18 is a Candidate Tumor Suppressor Gene in Human Pancreatic Cancer

    Frequent loss of heterozygosity on the long arm of chromosome 18 is observed in pancreatic cancer. Previous studies suggested the existence of one or more tumor-suppressor genes other than SMAD4 on chromosome 18....

    Genomic analysis of the thymine-DNA glycosylase (TDG) gene on 12q22–q24.1 in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

    Background. Recently, a human G/T-specific TDG gene was identified. This protein acts in a system correcting G/T mispairs to G/C pairs. TDG was mapped to chromosome bands 12q22–q24.1, one of the ...
