Breast Cancer Cell Line

Description

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

   
Notable Features

Tetraploid with 15 structural chromosome rearrangements, 5 of which whole arm translocations involving chromosomes 7, 8, 9, 11, 21, four involving chromosome 8. Losses involve chromosomes X, 4, 5(q31-qter), 6q, 8px3, 10q, 11px2, 12, 13, 15, 17; gains involve chromosomes 1, 3, 7, 7, 8q, 10p, 14, 16,16, 19, 21x3, 22.
