Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in 11q13 where the tumor suppressor gene for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) is located has been demonstrated in several tumor types, including follicular thyroid tumors, but whether the MEN1 gene is actually involved in their tumorigenesis is not known.

The PTEN (MMAC1/TEP1) tumor suppressor gene was recently isolated and mapped to human chromosome band 10q23. Homozygous deletions and mutations of PTEN were observed in cell lines and sporadic cancers of the breast, kidney, and central nervous system. Germline mutations in PTEN were recently found i

## Communicated by Jiirgen Horst Mutations in the emerin gene, also referred to as the STA-or EMD-gene, have been found to be the cause of X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EMD). For the present study an optimized set of primers was designed to amplify and sequence each of the six emerin
