Infrequent microsatellite instability in liver fluke infection-associated intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas from Thailand.
The liver fluke infection-associated intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a major liver cancer in Northeast Thailand. The molecular basis of this ICC is poorly understood. To address possible roles of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system in ICC carcinogenesis, a fluorescence-labeling PCR/laser scanning technique with high sensitivity was employed to analyze genomic instability in the nuclea...
متن کاملCholangiocarcinoma Associated with Liver Fluke Infection in an Iranian Patient
Biliary liver flukes are common parasites in some regions of the world where consumption of raw fresh-water fish is a cultural practice. Clonorchis sinensis and Opisthorchis species are the major biliary liver flukes associated with human disease. Some of these parasites are highly associated with cholan...
متن کاملMicrosatellite instability is infrequent in neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a childhood cancer of the autonomic nervous system. The molecular pathology of NB is not yet well understood. Both amplification of the proto-oncogene N-myc and loss of heterozygosity of several chromosomal loci occur in NB, representing genetic instability. In this study, we examined another type of genetic instability, microsatellite instability. Five chromosomal loci kn...

biliary liver flukes are common parasites in some regions of the world where consumption of raw fresh-water fish is a cultural practice. clonorchis sinensis and opisthorchis species are the major biliary liver flukes associated with human disease. some of these parasites are highly associated with cholangiocarcinoma. this report describes a clinically and epidemiologically unsuspected liver flu...
متن کاملMicrosatellite instability is infrequent in medullary breast cancer.
Microsatellite instability (MSI), characterized by contraction or expansion in microsatellite length or short tandem repeats compared with germline lengths, is found in 85% to 90% of colon cancer arising in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer families. These cancers commonly have characteristic histologic appearances, including medullary features with intense lymphoid infiltrates. In panc...
