Notes:
Summary Alterations of HLA class I genes were found in 3 of 12 human colon cancers. Rearrangements in HLA class I genes were observed in 2 cancers and amplification of HLA-coding genes was observed in 1 cancer. All 3 cancers were at an advanced stage. No examples of amplification or rearrangement in the HLA genes were found in 10 other tumours of diverse types. No alterations in the β2-microgubulin gene were observed in 22 human solid tumours included in this study. The association between alterations in HLA genes and proto-oncogenes in these tumours is discussed.
