Abstract excerpt
A total of 10 glioma cell lines were examined to evaluate the status of the MMAC1 gene, a candidate tumor suppressor gene. Six cell lines showed mutations with presumed loss of heterozygosity and 1 cell line showed no mRNA expression. The 6 mutations consisted of 3 3-bp deletions (codons 17, 101 or 199), 1 missense mutation (codon 252) and 2 truncation mutations (1 nonsense mutation at codon 233 and 12-bp...
