We have investigated the mutation of the TP53 gene in hepatoblastomas (HBLs) by using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism and direct sequencing in 38 HBL tumor samples and in two HBL cell lines. We detected the TP53 gene mutation in an anaplastic hepatoblastoma cell lin

The roles of the intrinsic mutation rate and genomic instability in tumorigenesis are currently controversial. In most colorectal tumours, it is generally supposed that the first mutations occur at the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) locus; APC mutations are thought to provide cells with a selectiv
The gene mutated in ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) patients (ATM) is located on chromosome 11q22-23, a region frequently altered in mammary tumors. Patients homozygous for ATM mutations are prone to develop a variety of different neoplasms. Female heterozygotes have been reported to carry a 5-to 8-fold
Von Hippel-Lindau disease is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder characterised by the development of haemangioblastomas, renal carcinomas, retinal angiomata, pancreatic tumours, and phaeochromocytomas . The tumour suppressor gene responsible for VHL has been mapped to 3p25 and a partial sequ
The cloning of the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA1, allows direct estimation of the proportion of these cancers in the general population which can be attributed to germline mutations in this gene. We have used a combination of SSCP, heteroduplex analysis, and chemical cleavage
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) results in part from genetic disorders. Recently, missense mutations of the cardiac actin gene have been reported to cause DCM. We studied 136 Japanese DCM cases to elucidate how frequently the gene mutations are involved in its pathogenesis. Genomic DNA samples were obt
