Journal ArticleDOI

Mutation of the PTEN tumor suppressor gene is not a feature of ovarian cancers

TL;DR: Alteration of the PTEN tumor suppressor gene does not appear to be a feature of sporadic or BRCA1-associated ovarian cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human mammary-derived growth inhibitor (MDGI) gene: genomic structure and mutation analysis in human breast tumors.

TL;DR: The data suggest that mutations in the coding region are uncommon in human breast tumorigenesis, and the human MDGI gene has been mapped to human chromosome 1p32-p35, a common region of deletion in sporadic breast tumors.
Journal Article

Mutation Analysis of the THRA1 Gene in Breast Cancer: Deletion/Fusion of the Gene to a Novel Sequence on 17q in the BT474 Cell Line

TL;DR: All nine protein-encoding exons of THRA1 were examined for point mutations via single strand conformation analysis in a series of primary breast tumors, breast cancer cell lines, and lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from the youngest affected members of several German breast cancer families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testing for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in the southeastern United States.

TL;DR: Characterization of mutations and uncharacterized variants in the breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRC a2, as observed in a population of breast cancer patients from the southeastern United States, and a preliminary look at how counseling and testing affected intentions toward prophylactic surgery are provided.
