The Influence of Polysomy 17 on HER2 Gene and Protein Expression in Adenocarcinoma of the Breast
11 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Breast carcinomas with amplification of HER2 on chromosome 17 are associated with HER2 protein overexpression, adversely affecting prognosis and predicting response to Herceptin therapy. Chromosome 17 polysomy is encountered in assessing HER2 gene status, and its impact on HER2 gene and protein expression remains unclear. This impact was investigated in breast carcinomas identified by fluorescence in situ...
