Abstract excerpt
We have optimized a technique that allows the study of numerous chromosomal loci (n = 20-50) from single paraffin-embedded tissue sections by microsatellite length polymorphism analysis. DNA samples from normal and breast cancerous tissue can be obtained from the same section by means of microdissection. This technique was further improved by subjecting DNA to several cycles of amplification with a degenerate...
