The clonal composition of 34 benign and malignant sporadic pancreatic endocrine tumours (PETs) of female patients was studied using a sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-mediated non-isotopic clonality analysis, which is based on the inactivation patterns of polymorphic X-linked genes encoding

Angiomyolipoma, which consists of three intimately intermixed components, smooth muscle, blood vessels, and adipose tissue, is variably considered a hamartoma, a choristoma or a true neoplasm. This study has investigated the clonality of sporadic angiomyolipomas in seven women, each with a single le
## Modifications have been made to two polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods for clonality analysis based on the inactivation patterns of two highly polymorphic X-linked genes encoding the androgen receptor (AR) and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA). These methods have been used to examine the clonal n
The clonality of intestinal carcinoids and the relationship between different tumour deposits of multiple intestinal carcinoids were investigated in this study. Six cases of multiple ileal carcinoids were selected for analysis and three independent carcinoid lesions from each case were microdissecte
Different studies of Wilms' tumours have demonstrated a loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosome 16q ranging from 17 to 25%. In order to search for a potential tumour suppressor gene on 16q, we chose the calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules E-cadherin and cadherin-11 as candidate genes, which
