Abstract excerpt
PTEN, a tumor suppressor gene, has been found to be inactivated by structural abnormalities or epigenetic changes in several types of human cancers. Recently, several studies have also suggested the possibility that the PTEN gene is a target of genomic instability in human cancers displaying microsatellite instability (MSI). To investigate the role of PTEN in human oral squamous cell carcinomas, we screened the...
