Abstract excerpt
Reduced expression of the TSC2 tumour suppressor gene product, tuberin, has been reported in sporadic astrocytomas, suggesting that the TSC genes may play a role in formation of sporadic glial or glioneuronal tumours. We studied paired constitutional and tumour DNA samples from 100 patients with sporadic glial and glioneuronal tumours for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the TSC1 and TSC2 loci using a combination...
