Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is the key enzyme in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Defects in the TPO gene are reported to be the cause of congenital hypothyroidism due to a Total Iodide Organification Defect (TIOD). This type of defect, where iodide taken up by the thyroid gland cannot be oxidized an

The cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) is a key component in regulation of the mammalian cell cycle. The recent discovery of a common missense mutation (Arg24Cys) in both sporadic and familial forms of malignant melanoma strongly supports the candidacy of CDK4 as a proto-oncogene. To study further the

We report the set-up of a denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) assay to screen for mutations in the whole coding sequence of the p53 gene. These DGGE experimental conditions were applied to the analysis of the p53 gene in acute leukemias. Forty adults with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
