説明

<jats:p>Previously, we have found that the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was frequently observed on chromosome 6q in acute/lymphoma-type adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), suggesting a putative tumor-suppressor gene for ATL may be present on chromosome 6q. To further define a region containing this gene, we performed fine-scale deletional mapping of chromosome 6q in 22 acute/lymphomatous ATL samples using 24 highly informative microsatellite markers. LOH was found in 9 samples (40.9%) at 1 or more of the loci examined. Of the 9 samples, 8 shared the same smallest commonly deleted region flanked by D6S1652 and D6S1644 (6q15-21). The genetic distance between these two loci is approximately 4 cM. These results suggest that a putative tumor-suppressor gene on chromosome 6q15-21 probably plays a very important role in the evolution of acute/lymphomatous ATL. Our map provides key information toward cloning the gene.</jats:p>
