Involvement of the Retinoblastoma Gene in Primary Osteosarcomas and Other Bone and Soft-Tissue Tumors
1 Sept 1991
Abstract excerpt
The retinoblastoma (Rb) gene, thought by some to be associated with tumor formation of retinoblastoma as a recessive human oncogene, was investigated in 57 cases using DNA and RNA from primary osteosarcomas and other bone and soft-tissue tumors. Eight of 23 osteosarcoma cases (35%) showed structural alterations of the Rb gene. Three of the eight demonstrated homozygous deletions, and the remaining five cases...
