Abstract excerpt
The chromosome region 8p12-p22 shows frequent allelic loss in a variety of human malignancies, including breast cancer (BC). The tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-receptors TRAIL-R1, -R2, -R3 and -R4 are located on 8p21-p22 and might be candidate tumor suppressor genes in this region. To evaluate the involvement of TRAIL receptors in breast carcinogenesis, we have analyzed the entire...
