Abstract excerpt
We studied the feasibility of a novel approach to localize breast cancer susceptibility genes, using a low-density genome-wide panel of single-nucleotide polymorphisms and taking advantage of large regions of linkage disequilibrium (LD) flanking Jewish disease genes in high-risk cases. With Affymetrix GeneChip arrays, we genotyped 8,576 polymorphisms in three sets of Ashkenazi Jewish breast cancer cases: a...
