Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of markers for chromosome 17 is the most frequent genetic change observed in breast cancer to date. To assess whether the location of several candidate target genes is compatible with patterns of allele losses in the individual tumors, we examined the LOH status of chromosome 17 in 109 primary breast tumors with 15 polymorphic DNA markers (three for 17p and 12 for 17q). Allelic imbalance (AI) at 17q was observed in 44 of the 97 informative cases. A significant correlation was found between AI at the long arm and AI at the short arm of chromosome 17. The patterns of AI on 17q in the tumors differed and were highly complex in some cases. A number of tumors showed AI distal to the growth hormone locus, whereas others showed AI exclusively proximal of this marker. These results indicate that there are at least two different regions of allele loss on 17q.
