Use of monozygotic twins in search for breast cancer susceptibility loci.

Twin research : the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies - 1 Aug 2001

Abstract excerpt

We have used Swedish monozygotic twins concordant for breast cancer to study genetic changes associated with the development of breast cancer. Because loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at a specific genomic region may reflect the presence of a tumour suppressor gene, loss of the same allele in both of the twins concordant for breast cancer may pinpoint a tumour suppressor gene that confers a strong predisposition to...
