Abstract excerpt
Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by developmental defects and tumorigenesis such as medulloblastomas and basal cell carcinomas, caused by mutations of the patched-1 (PTCH1) gene. To date, we have detected 73 mutations in PTCH1 and ten of them (14 %) were suspected splicing mutations. Eight out of the ten mutations were localized near the splice donor...
