Breast Cancer Cell Line

Description

Breast carcinoma cell line. One of the SUM series of lines derived in Ethier's laboratory*, obtained from the originators.

   
Notable Features

A hypotriploid cell line with modal number of 56, and 26 structural rearrangements, some of them complex, amplification of region of 11q, multiple double minutes (DMs) involving chromosomes 4, 6, 8; losses involve chromosomes 4, 7, 13, 14, 18; gains involve chromosome 12.

One of the lines that has a translocation that breaks in the NRG1 gene, forming the chromosome described originally as hsr(8)(p12) (Adelaide et al, 2003)
