Abstract excerpt
Primary breast tumors were tested for loss of heterozygosity (LOH), on chromosome 9p with microsatellite markers restricted to a 28 cM region including the MTS1 gene. LOH was found with at least 1 marker in 38% of the 201 cases analyzed. A high frequency of deletions was detected at the 9p23-p21 region, indicating a tumor suppressor gene(s) important for breast cancer tumorigenesis. Tumors with and without LOH on...
