Molecular Pathogenesis in Sporadic Head and Neck Paraganglioma
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
HYPOTHESIS: Similar to familial tumors, sporadic head and neck paragangliomas are associated with chromosomal deletions at either 11q13 or 11q22-23. BACKGROUND: Familial paragangliomas are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with genomic imprinting of the maternal allele. Genetic studies of familial paragangliomas have localized the causative genetic defect to two separate loci: 11q13.1 and 11q22-23. The...
