The genetic determinants for most breast cancer cases remain elusive. However, a mutation in a tumor suppressor gene, such as p53, BRCA1, BRCA2, or ATM, has been determined to be one mechanism of breast carcinogenesis. It has been established that inherited mutations in p53, BRCA1, and BRCA2 signifi
Maspin is a tumor suppressor whose expression is lost in many advanced breast cancers. Maspin has been shown to inhibit cell motility, invasion and metastasis; however, its precise role in normal mammary epithelium remains to be elucidated. Although expression of maspin mRNA is low or absent in most
