Description Deletions in chromosome (chr.) 13q occur frequently in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Previous studies failed to identify common deleted regions in chr.13q, though several candidate tumour suppressor genes (TSGs) loci, e.g. BRCA2, RB1 and BRCAX have been localized in this chromosome, as well as no prognostic significance of the deletion has been reported. Thus, in the present study, deletion mapping of chr. 13q has been done in 55 primary HNSCC samples of Indian patients using 11 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers of which three were intragenic to BRCA2 gene, one intragenic to RB1 gene and another from BRCAX locus. The deletion in chr.13q was significantly associated with progression of HNSCC. High frequencies (27–39%) of loss of heterozygosity were found in 13q13.1 (BRCA2), 13q14.2 (RB1), 13q21.2–22.1 (BRCAX) and 13q31.1 regions. Deletions in the BRCA2 and RB1 regions were significantly correlated. The four highly deleted regions were associated with clinical stage and histological grades of the tumour as well as poor patient outcome. Deletion in the 13q31.1 region was only found to be associated with HPV infection. High frequencies (11–23%) of microsatellite size alteration (MA) were seen to overlap with the highly deleted regions. Forty per cent of the samples showed rare biallelic alteration whereas loss of normal copy of chromosome 13q was seen in five tumours. Thus, it seems that the putative TSGs located in the BRCAX and 13q31.1 regions as well as the BRCA2 and RB1 genes may have some cumulative effect in progression and poor prognosis of HNSCC. Significant association between deletion in BRCA2 and RB1 gene loci may indicate functional relationship between the genes in this tumour progression.
