Localization of the VHR Phosphatase Gene and Its Analysis as a Candidate for BRCA1

TL;DR: The VH1-related human protein (VHR) gene was localized to human chromosome 17q21 in a region thought to contain the BRCA1 locus, a locus that confers susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancer and was screened in individuals with familial breast cancer and in sporadic breast tumor and breast cancer cell lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monitoring the efficacy of hybrid selection during positional cloning: the search for BRCA1.

TL;DR: This work uses hybrid selection to screen a 600-kb region that includes the BRCA1 gene and introduces simple parameters that serve as measures of important aspects of the hybrid selection process in the context of positional cloning.
