Abstract excerpt
Allelotypic evaluation of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) has been instrumental in the identification of tumour suppressor genes. Here we report a high incidence of LOH at chromosome 11q23 in non-familial breast cancers with in situ, invasive, and metastatic tumour cells microdissected from archival haematoxylin and eosin (H & E) sections for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-LOH analysis at polymorphic microsatellite...
