Abstract excerpt
DNAs from 19 malignant human breast tumors and 2 benign fibroadenomas were analyzed for heterozygosity at 5 polymorphic loci on the short arm of chromosome 3. One homozygous deletion and one rearrangement were identified using probe D3S2 which maps to 3p14.3-3p21.1. This probe also detected novel hybridizing fragments of 2.0 kb and/or 3.4 kb in 6/18 (33%) of the malignant tumor samples that hybridized with the...
