Pancreatic endocrine neoplasms (PENs) are rare tumors, and little is known about their genetic and chromosomal alterations. Elucidation of the molecular events involved in PEN carcinogenesis has been hindered by the fact that PENs have been considered a single disease entity. The emergence of novel
Lynch syndrome, or hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC), is an autosomaldominant disease accounting for approximately 1 5 % of all colorectal cancer cases. Due to the lack of pathognomonic morphological or biomolecular markers, HNPCC has traditionally posed unique problems to clinicians and
The molecular basis of the myotonic dystrophy (MD) kinase gene is expansion of the CTG repeat at the 3-untranslated region of the MD gene. Variability of the CTG repeat size in different tissues of affected individuals has been demonstrated. The objective of this report was to examine and review the
The Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) is an overgrowth/multiple congenital anomalies/dysplasia syndrome caused by a mutant X-linked gene. The spectrum of its clinical manifestations is broad, varying from very mild forms in carrier females to infantile lethal forms in affected males. A typically
