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 brea...
