PG - 45-8 AB - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and microsatellite instability (MSI) of fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). METHODS: Using polymerase chain reaction-simple sequence length polymorphism (SSLP) -silver staining technique, 41 samples of LSCC were detected for LOH and MSI with microsatellite sites D3S1234 and D3S1300. RESULTS: LOH was found in 44.4% (16/36) and 36.4% (12/33) of informative cases at D3S1234 and D3S1300 respectively, while MSI at the two loci was found in 19.4% (7/36) and 24.2% (8/33) of informative cases respectively. In 41 cases of LSCC, 38 cases were informative at either locus. 52.6% (20/38) of cases had LOH while 28.9% (11/38) had MSI. The rate of LOH was related to the tumor TNM stage, pathological grade, lymph node metastasis and tumor relapse (P < 0.05). The rate of MSI was related to the tumor lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05 ). CONCLUSION: The frequencies of LOH and MSI in the two microsatellite sites, D3S1234 and D3S1300, of FHIT gene might play a role in carcinogenesis and development of LSCC and might provide some new approaches for early gene detection for LSCC.
