Antisense transcripts are typically associated with the down-regulation of gene expression. In this issue, Moorwood et al. present evidence that an antisense RNA can enhance expression of the Wilms' tumour suppressor locus WT1. We suggest that the unusual function of the WT1 antisense RNA might rela
To search for the existence of a tumour-suppressor gene (TSG) associated with oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), PCR analysis of microsatellite polymorphisms corresponding to 14 loci which map to chromosome 7q21.3-qter was performed to screen 35 patients with oral SCC for loss of heterozygosity (LO
We report a 40-year-old patient with familial retinoblastoma also affecting his elder son, who developed multiple fibromas on the periungual or subungual areas of all the fingers. Molecular analysis disclosed a loss of heterozygosity for the RB1 gene in the larger tumour, with disappearance of the n
Communicated by R. G. H. Cotton We have examined a panel of 21 sporadic Wilms' tumours for rearrangements in the Wilms' tumour suppressor gene, WT1. In one tumour with specific allele loss in chromosome llp13, a homozygous deletion in the 3' end of the gene, encompassing exon 10 and the 3' untransla
