Abstract excerpt
AIM: To clarify the role of PTCH in patients with NBCCS-related and non-sydromic keratocystic odontogenic tumors. METHODOLOGY: Mutation analysis was undertaken in 8 sporadic and 4 NBCCS-associated KCOTs. RESULTS: Four novel and two known mutations were identified in 2 sporadic and 3 syndromic cases, two of which being germline mutations (c.2179delT, c.2824delC) and 4 somatic mutations (c.3162dupG, c.1362-1374dup,...
