Abstract excerpt
DPC4 and DCC, putative tumor suppressor genes implicated in the genesis of several types of human cancer, lie on the long arm of human chromosome 18. We examined 200 primary breast cancers for allelic losses on chromosome 18, using 15 microsatellite markers distributed along the long arm. Allelic loss was detected most frequently (29-30%) at loci mapped to 18q21. Deletion mapping of the 34 tumors showing partial...
