Abstract excerpt
Several types of endocrine tumors show frequent somatic deletions of the distal part of chromosome arm 11q, where the tumor-suppressor gene SDHD (succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit D), constitutionally mutated in paragangliomas of the head and neck, is located. In this study, we screened 18 midgut carcinoids, 7 Merkel cell carcinomas, 46 adrenal pheochromocytomas (37 sporadic and 9 familial), and 7...
