Abstract excerpt
We analyzed DNA from 105 primary breast cancers to assess amplification of the ERBB2 gene and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 17 using 4 polymorphic markers, and investigated the relationships of these genetic alterations to clinicopathological characteristics including DNA ploidy. Amplification of the ERBB2 gene was observed in 28% of the tumors. ERBB2 was amplified in tumors of all clinical stages...
