Abstract excerpt
Recently we identified FUS1 as a candidate tumor suppressor gene (TSG) in the 120 kb 3p21.3 critical region contained in nested lung and breast cancer homozygous deletions. Mutation of FUS1 is infrequent in lung cancers which we have confirmed in 40 other primary lung cancers. In addition, we found no evidence for FUS1 promoter region methylation. Because haploinsufficiency or low expression of Fus1 may play a...
