Description
Chromosome 19q: Loss of Heterozygosity (LOH) refers to the loss of genetic material normally found on the long arm of one of the patient's two copies of chromosome 19. Codeletion of Chromosome 1p and 19q is a diagnostic, prognostic and predictive marker for gliomas and is strongly associated with the oligodendroglioma phenotype.
Rationale
Chromosome 19q: Loss of Heterozygosity (LOH) is a Registry Data Collection Variable in AJCC. It was previously collected as Brain, CS SSF #6.
