Human Homolog of patched, a Candidate Gene for the Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome

TL;DR: Heritable mutations in BCNS patients and a somatic mutation in a sporadic BCC were identified in a human homolog of the Drosophila patched (ptc) gene, which appears to be crucial for proper embryonic development and for tumor suppression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of the hedgehog pathway in advanced prostate cancer

TL;DR: The data indicate that activation of the hedgehog pathway, through loss of Su(Fu) or overexpression of sonic hedgehog, may involve tumor progression and metastases of prostate cancer.
Journal Article

Mutations of the PATCHED Gene in Several Types of Sporadic Extracutaneous Tumors

TL;DR: It is found that 2 of 14 sporadic medulloblastomas bear somatic nonsense mutations in one copy of the gene and also deletion of the other copy, and that missense mutations in PTCH are identified in two of seven breast carcinomas, one of nine meningiomas, and one colon cancer cell line.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of the hedgehog-signaling pathway in human cancer and the clinical implications

TL;DR: Major advances in the last 2 years in the understanding of hedgehog signaling activation in human cancer, interactions between Hedgehog signaling and other pathways in carcinogenesis, potential antagonists for hedgehog signaled inhibition and their clinical implications for human cancer treatment are summarized.
