Subsequently, the same group, using CGH and microsatellite analyses, inferred two pathways of thymoma tumorigenesis by demonstrating that type A (3/8 cases) presented with consistent LOH in the region 6p23.3-25.5 only, while type B3 revealed various aberrations such as APC on chromosome 5q21 (3/14 cases), RB on 13q14 (5/14 cases), and p53 gene on 17p13.1 (4/14 cases) loci, as well as LOH in the region 6p23.3-25.5 (5/14 cases) [20]. The gene discussed is TP53; the disease is thymoma.
