<p>The present invention relates to four novel human genes amplified and overexpressed in breast carcinoma and located on the q11-q21.3 region of chromosome 17. The four novel genes are useful in breast cancer prognosis. The present invention also relates to a fifth novel human gene expressed in breast carcinoma and located on chromosone 6q22-q23. A sixth novel gene is also described that is the murine homolog of the human D52 gene. The genes and gene fragments of the present invention are themselves useful as DNA and RNA probes for gene mapping by in situ hybridization with chromosomes and for detecting gene expression in human tissues (including breast and lymph node tissues) by Northern blot analysis.</p> |
