| 1 | 8125484 | Human familial and sporadic breast cancer: analysis of the coding regions of the 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 gene (EDH17B2) using a single-strand conformation polymorphism assay. |
| 2 | 8125484 | The gene encoding this enzyme, EDH17B2, has been mapped to chromosome 17, region q12-q21, in the vicinity of BRCA1, as as yet unidentified gene that appears to be involved in familial breast cancer and in familial ovarian cancer. |
| 3 | 8125484 | The possibility that EDH17B2 gene is the same as BRCA1 was tested by screening for mutations in the coding regions of EDH17B2, using a polymerase chain reaction/single-strand conformation polymorphism method. |
| 4 | 8125484 | The results indicate that there are no major alterations in the coding areas of EDH17B2 and thus studies testing the hypothesis that EDH17B2 may be the same as BRCA1 should be extended to the promoter and regulatory elements of EDH17B2. |
