Abstract

In a cytogenetic study of breast cancer biopsies, clonal abnormalities of chromosome 1p were identified in 56% (14) of 25 informative patients. Translocations predominated, involving 1p22 (n = 1), 1p35 (n = 1) or 1p36 (n = 10) breakpoints. Chromosome 1p abnormalities were associated with estrogen receptor (ER) negativity (P = 0.03, 2-tailed Fisher Exact Probability test), high histological grade (P = 0.02, 2-tailed Mann-Whitney U-test) and an unfavourable Melbourne Prognostic Score (NEPA P = 0.02, SEPA P = 0.04, 2-tailed Mann-Whitney U-tests). These findings are consistent with the possibility that a gene located on chromosome 1p is implicated in tumour progression.
