The loss of heterozygosity of genes on the short arm of chromosome 3 (3p) in human breast carcinomas occurs in a region involved in other malignancies, including renal cell carcinoma, lung cancers, and von Hippel-Lindau disease. This finding suggests the presence of a gene(s) that plays a crucial role in multiple cancers. In our study of 84 informative (heterozygous) primary breast tumors, 30% showed losses of heterozygosity on chromosome 3. The shortest region of homozygosity in primary human breast tumor is located between the DNF15S2 and RAF1 loci in the 3p21-p25 region on the short arm of chromosome 3. This region includes at least two members of the c-erbA steroid/thyroid hormone receptor family (c-erbA beta and c-erbA2) that may be of special relevance to breast cancer. Furthermore, tumors with a loss of heterozygosity of genes on chromosome 3 were previously reported to have frequent allelic deletions on chromosome 11p and amplification of the c-myc proto-oncogene. These results highlight the occurrence of multiple genetic alterations in breast tumors.
