Abstract excerpt
Allelic alterations of chromosome 18 microsatellites were determined using normal and tumor DNA pairs from 29 patients with infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast. Loss of heterozygosity was detected in 62% (18 of 29 patients) of the tumors at one or more of these microsatellites. Eight of the 18 patients exhibited deletions in the region at 18q21.1. This chromosomal band is known to contain a tumor...
