Abstract excerpt
Inherited mutations of Patched (PTCH) in the nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) lead to several developmental defects and contribute to tumor formation in a variety of tissues. PTCH mutations have been also identified in sporadic tumors associated with NBCCS including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and medulloblastoma. Mice heterozygous for Ptch recapitulate the typical developmental symptoms of NBCCS and...
