Abstract

Deletion in the 22.9 -Mb chromosomal (chr.) 8p21.3-23 region has been shown to be necessary for the development of breast carcinoma (CaBr). In this study, we have attempted to detect the minimal deleted region(s) in the chr.8p21.3-23 region in 62 primary breast lesions having 56 CaBr tumors and six other breast lesions of Indian patients using 15 microsatellite markers. The loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was observed for at least one marker in 96.4% (54/56) of the CaBr samples. Three discrete minimal deleted regions with high frequencies of LOH (39-65%) were identified in the chromosomal 8p23.1-23.2 (D1), 8p23.1 (D2) and 8p 21.3-22 (D3) regions within 2.03, 0.41, 2.47 Mb, respectively. No significant correlation was observed with the high deleted regions and the different clinicopathological parameters. Interestingly, 51.8% (29/56) CaBr samples showed either loss of chr.8p or interstitial deletions in this arm, indicating the importance of chr.8p in the development of CaBr. The pattern of allelic loss in the bilateral lesions had indicated that the lesions were clonal in origin and probably the deletion in the D3 region was the early event among the D1-D3 regions. Thus, our data have indicated that the D1-D3 regions could harbor candidate tumor suppressor gene(s) (TSGs) associated with the development of CaBr.
