Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify molecular alterations potentially involved in predisposition to adnexal serous carcinoma (SerCa) in the nonmalignant fallopian tube epithelium (FTE) of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers, given recent evidence implicating the distal FTE as a common source for SerCa. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We obtained and compared gene expression profiles of laser capture microdissected nonmalignant distal FTE from 12...
