Abstract excerpt
AIM: To assess whether FOXL2 p.C134W mutation may play a role in the development of human ovarian tumors in the Japanese, we investigated the FOXL2 codon 134 mutation and protein expression of inhibin-α, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) and follistatin (FST) in Japanese patients with granulosa cell tumor (GCT) of the ovary and other ovarian tumors. METHODS: We analyzed 114 tumor tissues from ovarian tumors,...
