Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the involvement of PTEN and other putative 10q tumor suppressors in endometrioid-type adenocarcinomas characterized by loss of 10q sequences. METHODS: PCR-based single-stranded conformational variant analysis and sequencing of individual PTEN exons in 34 tumor specimens and their corresponding normal DNA were used. RESULTS: Thirteen of the 34 tumors (38%) revealed a...
