Germline mutations of the PTEN gene in Cowden disease, an inherited breast and thyroid cancer syndrome

TL;DR: Mutational analysis of PTEN in CD kindreds has identified germline mutations that are predicted to disrupt the protein tyrosine/dual-specificity phosphatase domain of this gene, and implies that PTEN may play a role in organizing the relationship of different cell types within an organ during development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutation Spectrum and Genotype-Phenotype Analyses in Cowden Disease and Bannayan-Zonana Syndrome, Two Hamartoma Syndromes With Germline PTEN Mutation

TL;DR: There appeared to be an interdependent association between mutations upstream and within the PTPase core motif, the core motif containing the majority of missense mutations, and the involvement of all major organ systems (central nervous system, thyroid, breast, skin and gastrointestinal tract).
Journal ArticleDOI

Alopecia Universalis Associated with a Mutation in the Human hairless Gene

TL;DR: A kindred with a rare, recessively inherited type of alopecia universalis was used to search for a locus by homozygosity mapping, and linkage was established in a 6-centimorgan interval on chromosome 8p12 (the logarithm of the odds favoring linkage score was 6.19 as discussed by the authors ).
Journal Article

Down-regulation of retinoic acid receptor beta in mammary carcinoma cell lines and its up-regulation in senescing normal mammary epithelial cells

TL;DR: The findings reveal a dichotomy: RAR-beta transcription is down- regulated in tumor cells compared with normal human mammary epithelial cells, and up-regulated in senescence, as demonstrated by reporter gene assays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of senescence-associated beta-galactosidase in enlarged prostates from men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the accumulation of senescent epithelial cells may play a role in the development of the prostatic enlargement associated with BPH.
