Abstract
Two genes predisposing females to autosomal dominant breast cancer are located on chromosome 17. Mutations in the p53-gene on the short arm have been shown to predispose females to early onset breast cancer in families with the rare Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Another locus on 17q (BRCA1), was found to be linked to the disease in a subset of families with breast cancer. In order to determine the involvement of tumour suppressor genes at these loci in tumour development, we studied allele losses for markers on chromosome 17 in 78 familial breast carcinomas. The analysis used six polymorphic DNA markers, three on each arm. We found support for at least four separate regions displaying allele losses on chromosome 17: the p53-region, the distal part of 17p, the BRCA1 region and the distal part of 17q. The frequency of allele losses on distal 17p (16%) is low in these familial tumours compared with the previously reported incidence in sporadic tumours (> 50%), whereas the frequency of losses at the p53 locus and on 17q was similar to sporadic tumours (5%-40%). These data suggest that several regions on chromosomal 17 can harbour tumour suppressor genes involved in tumour development of familial breast cancer.
