Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was evaluated in 174 breast and ovarian tumors derived from 94 families with at least 3 first-degree relatives affected with either of these cancers. By linkage analysis 26 families were identified as having a high posterior probability of being due to BRCAl (the breast/ovarian cancer susceptibility locus on 17q12-21) with lod scores varying from 0.51 to 9.49. Tumor genotypes were...
