## Abstract Summary: Transferrin Receptor 2 (TfR2) is a key molecule involved in the regulation of iron homeostasis. Mutations in TfR2 lead to type 3 hemochromatosis in humans. We have developed mice with a targeted deletion of TfR2. The Creβrecombinase:__lox__P system used to create the mice allow

## Abstract Germline mutations in the tumorβsuppressor gene __PTEN__ (__MMAC1, TEP1__) are found in Cowden syndrome, which predisposes to hamartomas, breast cancer, trichilemmomas, and thyroid tumors of follicular epithelium. __PTEN__ has also been found to be somatically deleted, mutated, and/or s
The PTEN (MMAC1/TEP1) tumor suppressor gene was recently isolated and mapped to human chromosome band 10q23. Homozygous deletions and mutations of PTEN were observed in cell lines and sporadic cancers of the breast, kidney, and central nervous system. Germline mutations in PTEN were recently found i
## Abstract Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor and possesses a high incidence of 10p loss. The KLF6 (Kruppelβlike transcription factor) tumor suppressor gene on 10p15 is inactivated by loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and/or somatic mutation in a number
