Abstract excerpt
Recently, the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA2 has been identified in chromosome 13q, a region that also contains the retinoblastoma gene RB1. To elucidate a possible role of BRCA2 and RB1 in sporadic breast tumorigenesis, allelic imbalance (AI) at 13q loci was examined in 78 primary sporadic breast tumors. AI was found in 52-63% of tumors. Nine tumors showed AI only in the BRCA2 region but not at RB1. Six...
