Abstract excerpt
Genomic alterations in primary breast cancer play a role in the initiation and progression of the disease. We have analyzed the molecular events involved in the initiation and progression of the neoplastic process in an in vitro experimental system. Immortalization of human breast epithelial cells (HBEC) is associated with 3:9 translocation, p53 mutation and microsatellite instability (MSI) of chromosomes 11p13,...
