High-throughput scanning of breast tumor surgical specimens for low-level mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Large numbers of mutations are postulated to occur as early events in carcinogenesis. For certain types of human tumors (mutator phenotypes) these mutations can be a driving force in generating clonogenic, causative genetic changes leading to multistage carcinogenesis. These low-level mutational events are highly significant due to their potential use as molecular markers for early identification of genomic...
