Abstract

We determined loss of heterozygosity from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue of colorectal carcinoma using microsatellite polymorphism. The polymorphism was assayed based on DNA amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR-analyzed micro-satellite method was applied to assay degraded DNA extracted from paraffin-embedded blocks with adenocarcinoma of colon. The DNA from 26 tumors as well as their corresponding normal tissue samples were successfully amplified using a dinucleotide microsatellite located within an intron of the deleted in colorectal carcinoma gene. Allele losses on this marker were detected in 33% of informative colorectal carcinomas. This study demonstrates that microsatellites provide a powerful set of DNA markers for loss of heterozygosity on archival specimens.
