Abstract excerpt
Correlation of chromosomal instability (CIN) with BRCA1 expression and p53 abnormality was studied in sporadic breast cancers since these genes are implicated in the double strand DNA repair and mitotic checkpoint, and loss of their function is speculated to result in the accumulation of CIN. CIN values (percentage of cells with non-modal chromosomes) were determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization of...
