## Abstract Genetic events underlying the pathogenesis of breast cancer have been studied extensively and several clinically significant markers have been identified. For example, amplification and overexpression of the __ERBB2__ oncogene is associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer and __ERB
Alterations in the gene copy numbers of the proto-oncogenes HERZ/neu and c-myc in primary human breast cancer investigated in 73 patients. We detected amplification of H€R2/ neu in 17 patient samples and amplification of c-myc in I I, while amplification of both was seen in 6 samples. There was no c
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a ubiquitous herpesvirus associated with certain lymphomas and carcinomas, has been identified within the malignant cells of a small proportion of breast tumors. As breast cancer is a very common malignancy in women, a pathogenetic role of EBV for even a subgroup of patient
## Abstract Epithelial cancers frequently have multiple amplifications, and particular amplicons tend to occur together. These co‐amplifications have been suggested to result from amplification of pre‐existing junctions between two chromosomes, that is, translocation junctions. We investigated this
Topoisomerase II␣ (TOP2A) is a key enzyme in DNA replication and a molecular target for many important anticancer drugs. TOP2A is amplified or deleted together with amplification of the closely located ERBB2/HER-2/neu oncogene in breast cancer. We characterized the copy number aberrations of TOP2A a
