Abstract excerpt
Genes on chromosomes 17q and 18q have been shown to code for putative tumor suppressors. By a combination of allele-loss studies on sporadic ovarian carcinomas and linkage analysis on a breast/ovarian cancer family, we have investigated the involvement of such genes in these diseases. Allele loss...
