Allelic losses characteristic of tumor cells, when displayed by morphologically normal terminal ductal lobular units (TDLUs) adjacent to carcinoma [G. Deng et al., Science (Wash. DC), 274: 2057-2059, 1996], may indicate an extended field of increased cancer susceptibility within the affected breast tissue. We investigated this possibility by asking whether the presence of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at...
