Abstract excerpt
Reduced expression of BRCA1 protein, caused by the hypermethylation of its gene promoter and by other mechanisms, is observed in most sporadic human breast cancers, whereas its somatic mutations are rare. In the present study, we demonstrate that immunoreactivity of Brca1 was reduced in almost al...
