Germ-line mutations in nonsyndromic pheochromocytoma.
BACKGROUND The group of susceptibility genes for pheochromocytoma that included the proto-oncogene RET (associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 [MEN-2]) and the tumor-suppressor gene VHL (associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease) now also encompasses the newly identified genes for succinate dehydrogenase subunit D (SDHD) and succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB), which predispos...
متن کاملTesting for germ line p53 mutations in cancer families.
A workshop on germ line p53 testing in members of families with the Li-Fraumeni cancer syndrome was held at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, May 8-9, 1991.2 The meeting was cosponsored by the National Cancer Institute and the National Center for Human Genome Research. Virtually all forms of cancer in humans show a tendency to aggregate in families. These aggregates can be ...
متن کاملGerm-line msh6 mutations in colorectal cancer families.
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC) is due primarily to inherited mutations in two mismatch repair genes, MSH2 and MLH1, whereas germ-line mutations in other mismatch repair genes are rare. We examined the frequency of germ-line msh6 mutations in a population-based series of 140 colorectal cancer patients, including 45 sporadic cases, 91 familial non-HNPCC cases, and 4 HNPCC ca...
متن کاملGastrointestinal tract cancers: Genetics, heritability and germ line mutations
Gastrointestinal (GI) tract cancers that arise due to genetic mutations affect a large number of individuals worldwide. Even though many of the GI tract cancers arise sporadically, few of these GI tract cancers harboring a hereditary predisposition are now recognized and well characterized. These include Cowden syndrome, MUTYH-associated polyposis, hereditary pancreatic cancer, Lynch syndrome, ...
متن کاملCDKN2A germ-line mutations in individuals with multiple cutaneous melanomas.
Germ-line CDKN2A mutations are present in some kindreds with hereditary cutaneous melanoma, and in Sweden a founder mutation with an extra arginine in codon 113 (113insR) has been identified. We screened 80 individuals with at least two primary cutaneous melanomas, who were identified mainly by a search of a regional cancer registry, for germ-line CDKN2A mutations. In nine patients, CDKN2A alte...
