Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies of chromosome arm 9p have indicated the presence of one or more tumor suppressor genes involved in genetic susceptibility to various types of human cancers. To define the extent of the specific deletion of 9p21-22 in human breast cancer, we have analyzed loss of heterozygosity and...
