The quest for a tumor suppressor gene phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Our current definitions of the tumor suppressor gene (TSG) have been guided by the identification of the prototypical gene, RB1, a TSG that is implicated in the development of both the inherited and sporadic forms of retinoblastoma. The hallmark feature of this TSG is loss of function in tumoral cells, which can be restored by reintroduction of a normally functioning protein with concomitant reversion of...
