Germline duplication of chromosome 2p and neuroblastoma.
A child with a germline duplication of chromosome 2p, 46,XY,der(13)t(2;13)(p23;q34), who developed a fatal neuroblastoma confirmed at necropsy is reported. Fluorescent in situ hybridisation studies showed chromosome 2p (p23-pter) duplicated on chromosome 13 (q34). The clinical features of the present case shared many similarities to previous reports of trisomy 2p and there have been two cases d...
متن کاملA novel germline mutation in BAP1 predisposes to familial clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.
UNLABELLED Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) clusters in some families. Familial RCC arises from mutations in several genes, including the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor, which is also mutated in sporadic RCC. However, a significant percentage of familial RCC remains unexplained. Recently, we discovered that the BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1) gene is mutated in sporadic RCC. The BAP1 gene...
متن کاملGermline BAP1 mutation predisposes to uveal melanoma, lung adenocarcinoma, meningioma, and other cancers.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential contribution of germline sequence alterations in the BAP1 gene in uveal melanoma (UM) patients with possible predisposition to hereditary cancer. DESIGN A total of 53 unrelated UM patients with high risk for hereditary cancer and five additional family members of one proband were studied. Mutational screening was carried out by direct sequencing. RESUL...
متن کاملREGRESSION OF METASTATIC NEUROBLASTOMA TO GANGLIONEUROMA
The spontaneous regression of neuroblastoma to ganlioneuroma is a rare occurrence. Reviewing the literature, we found no more than 12casesreported.'•2.9.,o.'4.1s We report a case of metastatic neuroblastoma of multifocal skeletal and soft tissue areas with gross deformities which regressed to ganglioneuroma, with good prognosis.
متن کاملTrapping MBD5 to understand 2q23.1 microdeletion syndrome
Despite genetic evidence implicating MBD5 as the only overlapping gene between various 2q23.1 microdeletions, the function of MBD5 and its causality to 2q23.1 microdeletion syndrome, a disorder characterized by developmental delay and autistic features, has yet to be determined. In this issue of EMBO Molecular Medicine, Camarena et al generate an Mbd5 genetrap mouse model and show for the first...
