Abstract excerpt
A predisposing gene (BRCA-1) for breast and ovarian cancer has been located on chromosomal region 17q12-21. According to Knudson's hypothesis if this gene is a tumor suppressor gene, allelic losses would be found in tumors occurring in families with cancer aggregations. We studied 25 samples of b...
