The Wilms' tumor gene WT1, whose loss of function accounts for the genesis of about 10% of Wilms' tumors, is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells and leukemia. By analogy with the relationship between the kidney stem cell and Wilms' tumor, it is probable that WT1 is mutated in leukemia. WT1 mutatio
## Abstract Recurrent genetic aberrations are important predictors of outcome in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Numerous novel molecular abnormalities have been identified and investigated in recent years adding to the risk stratification and prognostication of conventional karyotyping. Mutations i
To clarify the role of the MEN1 gene in the tumorigenesis of sporadic adrenocortical tumors, we performed a molecular study on 35 adrenocortical lesions including 6 hyperplasias, 19 adenomas and 10 carcinomas. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the MEN1 gene was assessed by PCR using an intragenic (D11
## Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most prevalent malignant tumor among cases of RothmundβThomson syndrome (RTS) with germline mutations of the __RECQL4__ gene, a member of the RecQ helicase family. We investigated the involvement of the __RECQL4__ gene in the development of OS unrelated to RTS.
