Thirty- eight of the 88 tumours (43%) showed LOH for at least one marker. Of these, two tumours (5%) showed 13q whole arm allelic loss, while the remaining 36 tumours (95%) had partial allelic loss. The LOB pattern defined by the 36 tumours suggested the existence of at least three different smallest common deleted regions which might be involved in the carcinogenesis of HCC. The first, the most centromeric in the 13q12.3 is, close to the BRCA2 gene, defined by D13S 171; the second, the most telomeric region in the 13q31-32 band, is defined by D13S154 and D13S157; the third, the intermediate region at 13q14.3, which is near the RB gene, is defined by loci D13S268. The rate of LOH at 13q31-32 was significantly higher in Hepatitis B-surface antigen (HBsAg)- positive patients than HBsAg-negative HCC patients, pointing to a candidate gene related to the development of HBsAg- positive HCCs.
