The search for BRCA1.

TL;DR: BRCA1, a gene predisposing to breast and ovarian cancer, was mapped to chromosome 17q21 by linkage analysis and revealed 44 variants, including two missense mutations in two genes which segregated with breast cancer and were not found in controls, however, no frame-shift, nonsense, or regulatory mutations were found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression and mutation analysis of the p53 gene in uterine papillary serous carcinoma

TL;DR: The status of p53 protein expression was determined by immunohistochemistry and correlated with genetic analysis and clinical outcome in patients with uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

22 genes from chromosome 17q21: cloning, sequencing, and characterization of mutations in breast cancer families and tumors.

TL;DR: In the effort to identify BRCA1, 22 genes were cloned from a 1-Mb region of chromosome 17q21 defined by meiotic recombinants in families with inherited breast and/or ovarian cancer, and 36 polymorphic variants were observed in both cases and controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of oncogene alterations in human endometrial carcinoma: prevalence of ras mutations.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the amplification or overexpression of several proto‐oncogenes frequently observed in other human gynecologic and breast tumors are not prevalent in endometrial carcinoma and that ras gene mutations are relatively common in this tumor type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutation of the p53 tumor-suppressor gene is not a feature of endometrial hyperplasias.

TL;DR: Because it does not appear to be a feature of endometrial hyperplasias, mutation of the p53 gene may represent a relatively late event inendometrial carcinogenesis.
