3p loss of heterozygosity (LOH), together with grade, lymph node status, progesterone receptor (PR) status, and oestrogen receptor (ER) status
| LOH (number) | Retention (number) | |
|---|---|---|
| Any locus on 3p | ||
| The results show an association between 3p LOH and increasing tumour grade, although this is not significant. There was no correlation between LOH and lymph node status. There was a significant correlation between loss of PR and ER expression (PR, p = 0.0098; ER, p = 0.0472) and loss at any 3p locus. | ||
