The molecular genetic events underlying endometrial tumorigenesis are
ill-defined at present. We have identified a region on the short arm of
chromosome 1 which is frequently deleted in endometrial cancers. The region
of deletion has been localized to bands 1p32-33. Deletion of 1p32-33 is
seen more frequently in cancers of the highly aggressive papillary serous
type than in cancers of the less-aggressive endometrioid type. These data
suggest the presence of a tumor suppressor gene on 1p32-33 which is
specifically involved in the development of endometrial cancers with poor
outcome.
