In primary breast cancer, mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene lead to loss of growth-suppressive properties and poor outcome. Recently, a p53-related gene, termed p73, has been cloned and its gene product possesses a function similar to p53. p73 has been mapped at chromosome 1p36.3, a region
Non-small cell lung cancers have a high incidence of somatic mutations of the beta-tubulin (class I) gene, suggesting involvement in the acquisition of resistance to taxanes, which exert their effects through binding to beta-tubulin. Since taxanes are often used in the treatment of breast cancer, we
