Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at loci from chromosome I3 is frequently observed in breast cancer. Chromosome I3 contains at least two cancer genes, the well-characterized RBI gene located at 13q 14 and the breast cancer-susceptibility gene, BRCAZ, recently localized to 13q 12. To investigate the poss
## Abstract Extensive hypermethylation and consecutive transcriptional silencing of tumorsuppressor genes have been documented in multiple tumor entities including breast cancer. In a microarray based genomeโwide methylation analysis of five sporadic breast carcinomas we identified a hypermethylate
