Abstract

Sequential chromosome banding of direct preparations from an infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the left breast of a male, aged 56 years, showed a diploid chromosome range with a mode at 44. Consistent monosomy of chromosomes #2, #3, #4, #6, #11, #15, and #17 and nullisomy of chromosomes #1, #8, and #12 were found. In addition, each cell contained 11-14 markers and 1-7 abnormal chromosomes. Altogether, 16 markers were characterized, and 2 of these involved the long arm of chromosome #1. This chromosome pattern is similar to that in diploid breast carcinomas of the female.
