Official Title: Inheritance of Osteosarcoma & Paget's Disease Through Chromosome 18: Examination of Osteosarcoma Tissue Samples From Two Family Members for Loss of Heterozygosity in the Chromosome 18 Region, Gene
Brief Summary: Researchers have previously demonstrated loss of heterozygosity in a region on chromosome 18q, associated with osteogenic sarcomas in bone affected by Paget's disease. The loci used in this study are specifically described by those authors as showing loss of heterozygosity in 6 of 7 affected families.
