Abstract excerpt
A putative tumor suppressor, PTEN/MMAC1 gene at 10q23 was recently identified and found to be mutated in many different human tumors. To determine the role of the PTEN/MMAC1 gene in lung cancer, we screened 34 small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines, 10 SCLC tumors, 13 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines and 10 NSCLC tumors using Denaturing HPLC (DHPLC) and direct sequencing methods. In SCLC, six (18%)...
