Loss of Heterozygosity Associated with Uniparental Disomy in Breast Carcinoma
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity is commonly assumed to be due to deletion of the appropriate genomic region in one chromosome within a neoplastic cell but may be due to other mechanisms such as mitotic non-disjunction or somatic recombination leading to uniparental heterodisomy. We chose to study the genomic regions surrounding the p53 and RB1 tumor suppressor genes in breast carcinoma to evaluate the different mechanisms...
