Abstract excerpt
To investigate the alterations of genetic instabilities in carcinogenesis of the breast, we analyzed the allelotypic profile of 65 ductal carcinomas in situ (DCIS), compared with that of 207 invasive ductal carcinomas (IDC) of the breast. These studies were performed by means of examining microsatellite-length polymorphisms at seven loci (AluVpa, ESR, D11S988, D13S267, D16S398, D17S1159, and D17S855) from...
