Abstract excerpt
Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant embryonic tumors of the central nervous system. The nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), which is caused by mutations of PTCH gene on chromosome 9q22, accounts for about 2% of all medulloblastomas. Previous studies of PTCH in sporadic medulloblastomas using single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) detected mutations in about 10% of the tumors. In this...
