✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We have determined regions of allelic imbalance in human breast cancer cells using highly polymorphic microsatellite markers, which can be rapidly typed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using very small amounts of DNA. It appears that there are several regions of chromosome I which may be the targets of allelic imbalance, including some regions which have been identified previously by different groups. The detail with which we have mapped these regions of imbalance is, however, much greater than has been previously reported, and we have been able to localise these regions to small intervals of the genome. In addition we have identified previously uncharacterised regions of allelic imbalance on chromosome arm 1p, one of which (at 1p22–31) is lost in a high proportion of malignant lesions. We are currently attempting to analyse this latter region in detail in order to identify and characterise the sequence(s) involved. Study of such regions should help us understand some of the mechanisms underlying the development and progression of breast cancer.

## Abstract Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or allelic imbalance, the latter term referring to both loss and gain of an allele, on the long arm of chromosome 16 has been repeatedly found in cancers of, e.g., the breast and prostate. This indicates the presence of one or more tumor suppressor genes on

The loss of genetic material from a specific chromosome region in tumors suggests the presence of tumor-suppressor genes. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or allelic imbalance (Al) on the long arm of chromosome 16 is a known event in sporadic breast cancer. To locate the commonly deleted regions, and th
