چکیده
abstract objective: in this study, we evaluated pten mutations in cowden disease and juvenile polyposis syndrome. pten mutations were detected, cancer and other phenotypes associated with each of these mutations were characterized and loss of wild type pten allele in the associated tumors was demonstrated. methods: out of 9 patients included in this study, 8 had juvenile polyposis and 1 had cowden syndrome. pten gene was evaluated by means of polymerase chain reaction, single strand conformation polymorphism (sscp), heteroduplex mobility assay (hma) and direct dna sequencing. results: according to the results of this research, nucleotide substitutions in pten gene were found in 22% (2/9) of patients. the samples were found to be heterozygote for the c.341t>g and c.389g>a mutations. one novel mutation c.341t>g in iranian patients with cowden syndrome was found in this study. conclusions: the study of these rare patients could provide insight into pten driven tumorgenesis.

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
15 صفحه اولThe mitochondrial DNA mutations associated with cardiac arrhythmia investigated in an LQTS family
Objective(s): As mitochondrial oxidative stress is probably entailed in ATP production, a candidate modifier factor for the long QT syndrome (LQTS) could be mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). It has been notified that ion channels' activities in cardiomyocytes are sensitive to the ATP level. Materials and Methods: The sample of the research was an Iranian family with LQTS for mutations by PCR-SSCP and...
متن کاملEvaluation of the CD123 Expression and FLT3 Gene Mutations in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background and Objective: Identification of cytogenetic and molecular changes plays an important role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Thus, they are used in classification, prognosis and treatment of the disease. The CD123 expression and FLT3 gene mutations are also the variations that may assist in prognosis and treatment of patients with AML.Methods:</...
متن کاملHigh frequency of mutations in gyrA gene associated with quinolones resistance in uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates from the north of Iran
Objective(s): Regarding the global burden of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) infections, prevention and treatment of such infections play a significant role in healthcare management. The inordinate use of fluoroquinolones led to a worldwide spread of quinolone-resistant strains. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate mutations in codons 83 and 106 of gyrA gene in UPEC isolates in the ...
متن کاملNovel mutations in the folliculin gene associated with spontaneous pneumothorax.
Spontaneous pneumothorax is mostly sporadic but may also occur in families with genetic disorders, such as Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, which is caused by mutations in the folliculin (FLCN) gene. The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence and type of mutation in a Swiss pedigree and in a sporadic case. Clinical examination, lung function tests and high-resolution computed tomograp...
متن کاملNo VSX1 gene mutations associated with keratoconus.
PURPOSE To determine whether mutations of the VSX1 gene play a pathogenetic role in the development of keratoconus (KTCN). METHODS DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and direct sequencing of the VSX1 gene were performed in 100 unrelated patients with diagnoses of clinical and topographic features of KTCN. RESULTS Of the four previously identified presumed pathogenic mutations in the VSX1 ge...
