Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Most familial cancer susceptibility genes are tumor suppressor genes that are biallelically inactivated in familial neoplasms through somatic deletion of the wild-type allele. Identifying the genomic losses that occur in pancreatic neoplasms, particularly those that occur in familial and precursor neoplasms, may help localize the genes responsible for pancreatic cancer susceptibility. EXPERIMENTAL...
