Description:
A specific, acquired chromosomal abnormality (deletion 3p) has been found in at least one chromosome 3 in 100 percent of the metaphases in 12 of 12 cell lines cultured from human small-cell lung cancer tissue and in 2-day tumor culture specimens from three patients. Analysis of the shortest region of overlap shows the deletion to be 3p(14-23). This specific change was not seen in five of five lung cancer cell lines other than small-cell lung cancer or in two lymphoblastoid lines cultured from cells of small-cell lung cancer patients whose tumors had the 3p deletion.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Whang-Peng, J -- Kao-Shan, C S -- Lee, E C -- Bunn, P A -- Carney, D N -- Gazdar, A F -- Minna, J D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Jan 8;215(4529):181-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6274023" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
