Refined-mapping of the novel TSG within the 17q24.3 chromosomal region in non-small cell lung cancer samples

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality in Taiwan. It has been previously demonstrated that alterations to tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) are involved in the multi-step carcinogenesis process that results in the development of human cancer, including lung cancer. Both copies of the TSG must be inactivated for their function to be lost. As a result, it is important to search for the genomic regions that potentially contain TSGs and to...
