Breast cancer is characterised by a number of genetic aberrations. Our purpose was to use comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) to screen breast carcinomas for copy number changes: 44 ductal and 8 lobular carcinomas were studied and a large number of genetic aberrations identified. Many of these s

Infiltrating lobular carcinoma (ILC) and infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC) are distinguished by their histopathological appearance. However, little is known about the differences in genetic changes between lobular cancers and ductal cancers. We used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and comp
## Background: Germline mutations in recessive cancer predisposition genes are uncovered by somatic genetic deletions during tumor development. analysis of genetic changes in tumor tissues from patients with an inherited predisposition may therefore highlight regions of the genome containing suscep
