Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mutation and expression of tumor suppressor gene-PTEN mRNA and explore their roles in tumorigenesis and progression of ovarian cancer. METHODS: Mutated exon 5 of PTEN gene was examined in normal ovary (n=5), ovarian cyst (n=5), ovarian borderline tumor (n=9), epithelial ovarian cancer (n=60), and ovarian cancer cell line (n=1) by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation...
