Abstract excerpt
In the present study, we searched for genetic alterations of the entire coding region of PTEN/MMAC1, a recently isolated candidate tumor suppressor gene, in 178 specimens from Japanese patients with various malignant tumors by the polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism method. The samples consisted of 11 glioblastoma multiformes (GBMs), 14 astrocytomas, 47 breast cancers, 25 non-small...
