An investigation of the genetic epidemiology of breast cancer involving complex segregation analysis of 200 breast cancer pedigrees of Danish extraction is presented. The observed distribution of breast cancer is compatible with transmission of an autosomai-dominant gene with no evidence for residua

Family pedigrees of Oklahoma Indian women with a history of breast cancer were developed with special reference to age at onset, cancer pathology (if known), age of death, cause of death, and blood quantum as recorded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB)
We investigated the segregation pattern of breast cancer in families with bilateral breast cancer, classifying families with respect to menopausal status (premenopausal versus postmenopausal) and the interval between diagnosis of the two primary tumors in the probands.

We have previously shown that neu oncogene-initiated rat mammary carcinomas uniquely over-express neu-related lipocalin (NRL), a member of the calycin protein superfamily. Here, we characterize the putative human homolog of NRL, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). ngal gene expression
