Abstract excerpt
We have studied loss of heterozygosity at the BRCA1 and BRCA2 loci in 992 normal cell clones derived from topographically defined areas of normal tissue in four samples from BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers. The frequency of loss of heterozygosity in the clones was low (1.01%), but it was found in all four samples, whether or not a tumour was present. Topographical mapping revealed that the genetic changes were...
