## Abstract Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the long arm of chromosome 16 is a frequent genetic alteration in breast cancer. It can occur by physical loss of part of or the entire chromosomal arm, resulting in a decrease in copy number or loss followed by mitotic recombination. Comparative genomic

## Loss of expression of the intercellular adhesion molecule E-cadherin frequently occurs in invasive lobular breast carcinomas as a result of mutational inactivation. Expression patterns of E-cadherin and the molecules comprising the cytoplasmic complex of adherens junctions, -, -and -catenin, we
Primary breast tumors were tested for loss of heterozygosity (LOH), on chromosome 9p with microsatellite markers restricted to a 28 cM region including the MTSl gene. LOH was found with at least I marker in 38% of the 20 I cases analyzed. A high frequency of deletions was detected at the 9p23-pZI re
## Abstract The two main histological types of infiltrating breast cancer, lobular (ILC) and the more common ductal (IDC) carcinoma are morphologically and clinically distinct. To assess the molecular alterations associated with these breast cancer subtypes, we conducted a wholeβgenome study of 166
