Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the deleted in colorectal carcinoma gene (DCC), a tumour suppressor gene that encodes a protein with high homology to the neural cell adhesion molecule, was investigated in 42 surgical specimens of primary breast carcinoma. LOH was analysed in breast carcinoma by amplifying the DNA, spanning a variable number of tandem repeats site and a restriction fragment length polymorphism...
