Breast Cancer Cell Line

Description

A hypodiploid cell line from mammary gland; breast; primary ductal carcinoma, held at ATCC, included in Cancer Genome Project at the Sanger Institute.

   
Notable Features

Hypodiploid, extremely rearranged with 17 structural chromosome abnormalities. No normal chromosomes 1, 8, 11, X. Losses involve X, 2q, 4, 8, 13, 14, 15, 17.
