Abstract
The loss of heterozygosity of genes on chromosome 1q, 11p, 13q and 17p in human breast cancer cells has been reported [1–5]. However, reduction to homo- or hemizygosity has not been identified at a molecular level. In the current study, an attempt was made to identify any normal genes that may become inactivated in malignant cells, with associated loss of the gene products.
