MATERIALS AND METHODSOver 1000 fresh frozen colorectal adenocarcinoma specimens were collected in the Department of Medical Genetics, University of Helsinki between May 1994 and June 1998. The microsatellite instability (MSI) status of the samples was previously determined using BAT26 mononucleotide marker. 23, 24 We chose all 23 samples which had displayed LOH in chromosome 22q13 in our previous genome wide analysis of 104 MSI negative CRCs with 372 microsatellite markers, 22 and analysed them by genomic sequencing of ACO2 in tumour and normal DNA. Because LOH at the locus of interest was an inclusion criterion, normal DNA was sequenced in addition to tumour DNA to exclude loss of ACO2 variants during tumour progression. This approach allowed detection of all putative somatic and germline sequence changes. Tumour DNA was extracted from fresh frozen specimens. A pathologist evaluated the proportion of tumour tissue histologically before DNA extraction. All samples displayed over 60% carcinoma tissue. Normal DNA was obtained either from blood or normal colon mucosa. The specimens representing normal mucosa were always derived from a separate site rather than from tumour margins. Fifteen of the samples were sporadic and eight had one first degree relative affected with CRC. Because of the MSI negativity and mild family history of cancer, these eight familial samples have not been screened for known genes predisposing to CRC. Familial adenomatous polyposis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and juvenile polyposis were, however, clinically excluded. The age of the patients varied from 30 to 89.
