Mutation analysis of PTEN/MMAC1 in acute myeloid leukemia
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Recently, a putative tumor suppressor gene, PTEN/MMAC1, has been identified at chromosome 10q23.3, which encodes a 403 amino acid dual-specificity phosphatase containing a region of homology to tensin and auxillin. Somatic mutations of the PTEN/MMAC1 gene have been identified in a number of cancer cell lines and primary cancers. Mutations in PTEN/MMAC1 are most frequently found in advanced cancers. To evaluate...
