Abstract excerpt
Tumor progression is characterized by stepwise accumulation of genetic alterations. To identify alterations associated with breast cancer metastasis, an analysis of comparative loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was performed on 38 primary sporadic breast carcinomas and 16 distant metastases. Two loci at 5q21 and 18q21 were chosen because of their reported increased deletion frequency in metastatic tumors. LOH at...
