Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of diagnosing cancer, or susceptibility to cancer, in an individual in need thereof comprising detecting homozygosity at one or more loci of the individual's nucleic acid, wherein the one or more loci is selected from the group consisting of: D2S1790, D3S2427, D4S2394, D5S2505, D6S1959, D7S3046, D9S1871, D10S1222, D11S1993, D11S1986, D11S4463, D13S793, D15S822, GATA178F11, D18S1376, and D20S477, and homozygosity at the one or more loci is indicative of a diagnosis of cancer, or susceptibility to cancer, in the individual. Also provided herein are kits for use in diagnosing cancer or susceptibility to cancer in an individual comprising one or more regents for detecting the presence of a homozygosity at one or more loci selected from the group consisting of: D2S1790, D3S2427, D4S2394, D5S2505, D6S1959, D7S3046, D9S1871, D10S1222, D11S1993, D11S1986, D11S4463, D13S793, D15S822, GATA178F11, D18S1376, and D20S477 and instructions for use.
