mutation screening of apc gene in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis by conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis (csge)
objectives: familial adenomatous polyposis (fap) is an autosomal dominant predisposition to colon cancer. this hereditary genetic disease is characterized by more than 100 adenomatous polyps in colon and rectum. additional features may include desmoids tumors, polyps in the upper gastrointestinal tract, osteomas and congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (chrpe). a mutation in...
متن کاملThe Effect of Monophosphoryl Lipid A on Maturation of DCs from Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Background: Generation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC) is induced in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4, and a maturation stimulus is added to the monocyte culture to obtain mature Dendritic Cells (DCs) suitable for therapy. TNF-α is the most common cytokine used for activating DCs and generating mature MDDC either alone or in combination with other cytokines. Objective: To compare effe...
متن کاملClinical relevance of mutant NPM1 and CEBPA in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia – preliminary report
AIM OF THE STUDY Mutant NPM1 and CEBPA have been reported in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and intermediate cytogenetic risk, and they appear to be associated with characteristic demographic and laboratory data, as well as clinical outcome. The objective of the study was to assess the clinical relevance of NPM1 and CEBPA mutations in AML. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective ...
متن کاملScreening of RET gene mutations in multiple endocrine neoplasia type-2 using conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE).
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) is an autosomal dominant inherited tumor syndrome caused by RET proto-oncogene germline mutations (RET). Here we tested the Conformation Sensitive Gel Electrophoresis (CSGE) as a screening method for RET hot-spot mutations. Seven MEN2 families were studied by direct sequencing analysis, CSGE and Single Strand Conformational Polymorphism (SSCP). Using C...
متن کاملNew Quantitative Method to Identify NPM1 Mutations in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Somatic mutations in the NPM1 gene, which encodes for nucleophosmin, have been reported to be the most frequent genetic abnormalities found in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Their identification and quantification remain crucial for the patients' residual disease monitoring. We investigated a new method that could represent a novel reliable alternative to sequencing for its identification. This...
