Reduced expression and loss of heterozygosity of the SDHD gene in colorectal and gastric cancer
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations occur in a variety of human cancers, suggesting a possible role for mitochondrial respiratory functions in tumorigenesis. Recent studies have demonstrated that SDHD, a nuclear gene encoding one of the mitochondrial complex II subunits, acts as a tumor-suppressor for hereditary paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas. In order to determine whether the SDHD function plays a wider...
