Loss of heterozygosity in tuberous sclerosis hamartomas.
We have previously described in tuberous sclerosis (TSC) hamartomas the phenomenon of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for DNA markers in the region of both the TSC2 gene on chromosome 16p13.3 and the TSC1 gene on 9q34. We now describe the spectrum of LOH in 51 TSC hamartomas from 34 cases of TSC. DNA was extracted from leucocytes or normal paraffin embedded tissue, and from frozen paraffin embedde...
متن کاملIncidence of hepatic hamartomas in tuberous sclerosis.
Hepatic hamartomas were thought to be a rare finding in patients with tuberous sclerosis. The purpose of this study was to assess their incidence in children with tuberous sclerosis and to review the literature. During 1984-90 we examined 51 children by ultrasonography; there were 25 boys and 26 girls. Their age ranged from 3 months to 18 years. Liver hamartomas were seen in 12 (23.5%) of the c...
متن کاملMesenchymal-epithelial interactions involving epiregulin in tuberous sclerosis complex hamartomas.
Patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) develop hamartomas containing biallelic inactivating mutations in either TSC1 or TSC2, resulting in mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation. Hamartomas overgrow epithelial and mesenchymal cells in TSC skin. The pathogenetic mechanisms for these changes had not been investigated, and the existence or location of cells with biallelic mutation...
متن کاملHamartomas of the iris and ciliary epithelium in tuberous sclerosis complex.
Astrocytic hamartomas of the retina are the principal ocular manifestation of tuberous sclerosis complex. Iris abnormalities are rare in tuberous sclerosis complex and include focal areas of stromal depigmentation and atypical colobomata. We describe 2 patients who were found on histopathological examination to have lesions consistent with hamartomas of the iris pigment epithelium and ciliary b...
متن کاملTuberous sclerosis.
Tuberous sclerosis - also called tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) - is a rare, multi-system genetic disorder affecting cellular differentiation & proliferation, which results in hamartoma formation in many organs. The classic triad of clinical features comprises mental retardation, epilepsy & skin lesion, but these three features are not always present. Mrs. Jahanara Khatun, a 30 years old lady...
