A familial, constitutionally rearranged human chromosome 17 is deleted for much of the DNA in its centromeric region but retains full mitotic centromere activity. Fluorescence in situ hybridization, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and Southern blot analysis of the residual centromeric region revealed a approximately 700-kb centromeric array of tandemly repeated alpha satellite DNA that was only approximately 20 to 30% as large as a normal array. This deletion was associated with a reduction in the amount of the centromere-specific antigen CENP-B detected by indirect immunofluorescence. The coincidence of the primary constriction, the small residual array of alpha satellite DNA, and the reduced amount of detectable CENP-B support the hypothesis that CENP-B is associated with alpha satellite DNA. Furthermore, the finding that both the deleted chromosome 17 and its derivative supernumerary fragment retained mitotic function and possess centromeric protein antigens suggests that human centromeres are structurally and functionally repetitive.

We investigated alterations in the structure and expression of oncogenes in mammary tumors and mammary tumor-derived cell lines. In 16 of 95 samples, we detected amplification of the human neu oncogene, also known as c-erB-2, accompanied by overexpression in the tumors from which intact RNA could be isolated. In 10 of these DNAs, the linked oncogene c-erbA was also amplified, whereas another gene on human chromosome 17, p53, was present in normal copy numbers. Overexpression of c-erbA could not be detected in the tumors analyzed. The relatively high frequency of neu amplification points to a functional role in human breast cancer. Coamplification of the c-erbA oncogene could contribute to this disease as well but is most likely fortuitous.
