The expression of Fhit protein is related inversely to disease progression in patients with breast carcinoma
15 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The FHIT gene, located at human chromosome 3p14.2, frequently is deleted in a number of human tumors, including breast carcinoma. Its protein product (Fhit) is presumed to have tumor suppressor function. Loss of expression of a tumor suppressor gene is an important step in tumor progression from premalignant, to in situ, to invasive carcinoma. METHODS: In the current study, Fhit expression was...
