Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in the tumor suppressor gene PTEN (protein phosphatase and tensin homolog located on chromosome ten) predispose to heritable breast cancer. The transcription factor PPARgamma has also been implicated as a tumor suppressor pertinent to a range of neoplasias, including breast cancer. A putative PPARgamma binding site in the PTEN promoter indicates that PPARgamma may regulate PTEN expression. We...
