Abstract excerpt
Grade I invasive ductal breast carcinomas have a specific pattern of genetic aberrations, namely gain of 1q and loss of 16q. This pattern is very similar to the changes seen in invasive lobular breast carcinomas (ILCs). The gene on 16q involved in ILC is known to be E-cadherin (CDH1). This study has investigated whether the same gene is responsible for grade I invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), using allele...
