Somatic mutations of the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene in sporadic gastrinomas and insulinomas.

چکیده
Gastrinomas and insulinomas are frequent in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). The MEN1 tumor suppressor gene was recently identified. To elucidate the etiological role of the MEN1 gene in sporadic enteropancreatic endocrine tumorigenesis, we analyzed tumors (28 gastrinomas and 12 insulinomas) from 40 patients for MEN1 gene mutations and allelic deletions. One copy of the MEN1 gene was found to be deleted in 25 of 27 (93%) sporadic gastrinomas and in 6 of 12 (50%) sporadic insulinomas. MEN1 gene mutations were identified in 9 of 27 (33%) sporadic gastrinomas and 2 of 12 (17%) insulinomas and were not seen in corresponding germ-line DNA sequence. A specific MEN1 mutation was detected in one gastrinoma and in the corresponding germ-line DNA of a patient who had no family history of MEN1. Somatic MEN1 gene mutations and deletions play a critical role in the tumorigenesis of sporadic gastrinomas and may also contribute to the development of a subgroup of insulinomas.

Two nonsense somatic mutations in MEN1 identified in sporadic insulinomas
Insulinomas are functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that cause hypoglycemia and severe morbidity. The aim of our study was to identify gene mutations responsible for tumorigenesis of sporadic insulinoma. Whole exome sequencing analysis was performed on tumors and paired peripheral blood from three patients with insulinomas. After initial analysis, somatic mutations were obtained and a d...
متن کاملLack of mutations of exon 2 of the MEN1 gene in endocrine and nonendocrine sporadic tumors.
In addition to the mutations that underlie most cases of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome, somatic mutations of the MEN1 gene have also been described in sporadic tumors like gastrinomas, insulinomas and bronchial carcinoid neoplasm. We examined exon 2 of this gene, where most of the mutations have been described, in 148 endocrine and nonendocrine sporadic tumors. DNA was...
متن کاملSomatic MEN1 gene mutation does not contribute significantly to sporadic pituitary tumorigenesis.
Pituitary adenomas are a common manifestation of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) but most of them occur sporadically. There are only a few well defined genetic abnormalities known to occur in these sporadic tumours. The MEN1 gene located on 11q13 has recently been cloned and allelic deletion and mutation analysis studies have implicated the MEN1 gene in a significant fraction of the ...
متن کاملMENJ gene plays a role in all four tumor types The lower rate of 1!q!3 LOH in MEN!-associated and sporadic gastrinomas and sporadic instill
Endocrine tumors (ETs) of pancreas and duodenum occur sporadically and as a part of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). The MENJ tumor suppressor gene has been localized to chromosome 11q13 by link age analysis but has not yet isolated. Previous alleic deletion studies in enteropancreatic ETs suggested MENJ gene involvement in tumorigenesis of familial pancreatic ETs (nongastrinomas) an...
متن کاملThoracic and duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1: natural history and function of menin in tumorigenesis.
Mutations of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) gene lead to loss of function of its protein product menin. In keeping with its tumor suppressor function in endocrine tissues, the majority of the MEN1-related neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) show loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 11q13. In sporadic NETs, MEN1 mutations and LOH are also reported, indicating common pathways in tu...
