ABSTRACT
The short area of chromosome 17 is a frequent target for deletions in human tumors, including breast cancer. We have investigated by restriction fragment polymorphism analysis the pattern of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at four loci on 17p13.1-17pter in a panel of 110 primary human breast carcinomas. A copy of the p53 gene was lost in 23% of the informative cases. Point mutations in the p53 gene were statistically associated with LOH at the same locus (p = 0.003) but not at other loci on 17p13.3-17pter. A second region bordered by the loci D17S5/D17S28 (17p13.3) and D17S34 (17pter) is also affected by LOH, independent of point mutations in the p53 gene. We propose the presence of a second tumor suppressor gene within this region. In support of this hypothesis is the significant association (p = 0.005) between LOH at the D17S5/D17S28, but not at the TP53 or D17S34 loci, and tumors having a high S-phase index.
