Abstract excerpt
Glioblastomas frequently carry mutations in the PTEN tumor suppressor gene on 10q23.3. The tumor suppressor properties of Pten are closely related to its inhibitory effect on the phosphatidyl-inositol-3'-kinase (Pi3k)-dependent activation of protein kinase B (Akt) signalling. Here, we report on the analysis of 17 genes related to the Pi3k/Akt signalling pathway for genetic alteration and aberrant expression in a...
