PTCH germline mutations in Chinese nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome patients.
OBJECTIVES PTCH, the human homologue of the Drosophila segment polarity gene, patched, has been identified as the gene responsible for nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate PTCH gene mutation in Chinese patients with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS DNA was isolated from both odontogenic keratocyst tissue and peripheral blood...
متن کاملA new germline mutation of the PTCH gene in a Japanese patient with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome associated with meningioma.
We employed polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing analysis to characterize the PTCH gene in a Japanese nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) patient suffering from meningioma, multiple basal cell carcinoma and epidermal cysts. Direct sequence analyses revealed a novel single base deletion at nucleotide 2613 in exon 16 (2613delC) in one PTCH allele, resulting in the frame shift and...
متن کاملNevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome: Report from the Zurich Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome Cohort.
BACKGROUND Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS, Gorlin-Goltz syndrome) presents various symptoms and can disfigure patients. The estimated prevalence is around 1:100,000. OBJECTIVE To systematically investigate the clinical manifestations of NBCCS patients of the Zurich register and compare them with those described in 4 epidemiological studies performed in other countries. METHODS ...
متن کامل[Gorlin syndrome (nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome)].
CLINICAL CASE A 77 year-old male patient with Parkinson's disease and senile dementia had many facial basal cell carcinomas and an ectropion of the left eye. When he experienced respiratory difficulty he was diagnosed to have an ameloblastoma in left nostril requiring surgery. DISCUSSION Gorlin syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by basal cell carcinomas, and skeletal an...
متن کاملNevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (Gorlin syndrome)
Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), also known as Gorlin syndrome, is a hereditary condition characterized by a wide range of developmental abnormalities and a predisposition to neoplasms. The estimated prevalence varies from 1/57,000 to 1/256,000, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1. Main clinical manifestations include multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), odontogenic keratocysts of...
