We have analyzed 98.5% of the coding region of the NF1 gene at the cDNA level in seven NF1 patients who developed malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Seven germline mutations were detected in six individuals: a 6-bp in-frame deletion in exon 28, a splice acceptor mutation in intron 31 resultin
Germline mutations of the CDKN2A tumor suppressor gene have been identified in melanoma kindreds linked to 9p21, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma is the second most common malignancy in some of these families. We hypothesized that unselected patients with both primary cancers, i.e., pancreatic cancer a
