[Discovery of a new splicing type of KCHIP1 gene].
The present study aimed to find the mutations of KCHIP1 gene in breast cancer. KCHIP1 cDNA samples from 12 specimens of breast cancer and 12 specimens of normal mammary tissues were amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and directly sequenced to detect mutation. No mutation of KCHIP1 gene was found in these samples; while a new splicing type of KCHIP1 gene was found, which has an insert (162 bp) between exon 1 and exon 2 in KCHIP1 gene (AY780424).
