TLDR
Using high-resolution Affymetrix arrays, two small common deleted regions are identified among 55 prostate tumors at 8p23.1 and 8p21.3 and these smaller consensus regions may facilitate a more effective search for prostate cancer genes at 7p.Abstract:
The evidence for tumor suppressor genes at 8p is well supported by many somatic deletion studies and genetic linkage studies. However, it remains a challenge to pinpoint the tumor suppressor genes at 8p primarily because the implicated regions are broad. In this study, we attempted to narrow down the implicated regions by incorporating evidence from both somatic and germline studies. Using high-resolution Affymetrix arrays, we identified two small common deleted regions among 55 prostate tumors at 8p23.1 (9.8–11.5 Mb) and 8p21.3 (20.6–23.7 Mb). Interestingly, our fine mapping linkage analysis at 8p among 206 hereditary prostate cancer families also provided evidence for linkage at these two regions at 8p23.1 (5.8–11.2 Mb) and at 8p21.3 (19.6–23.9 Mb). More importantly, by combining the results from the somatic deletion analysis and genetic linkage analysis, we were able to further narrow the regions to ∼1.4 Mb at 8p23.1 and ∼3.1 Mb at 8p21.3. These smaller consensus regions may facilitate a more effective search for prostate cancer genes at 8p. [Cancer Res 2007;67(9):4098–103]read more

TL;DR: Data from this study revealed that loss of miR-124 expression is a common event in CaP, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of CaP and suggest that miR -124 is a potential tumor suppressive gene in Cap, and restoration ofmiR- 124 expression may represent a novel strategy for CaP therapy.

TL;DR: It is discovered that Sox7 protein physically interacts with β-catenin and suppresses β- catenin–mediated transcription by depleting active β-Catenin, and suggests that Sox 7 is a tumor suppressor that functions as an independent checkpoint for β-catsenin transcriptional activity.

TL;DR: The hypothesis is developed that retinoblastoma is a cancer caused by two mutational events, in the dominantly inherited form, one mutation is inherited via the germinal cells and the second occurs in somatic cells.

Parametric and nonparametric linkage analysis: a unified multipoint approach.
TL;DR: It is shown that NPL is robust to uncertainty about mode of inheritance, is much more powerful than commonly used nonparametric methods, and loses little power relative to parametric linkage analysis, and appears to be the method of choice for pedigree studies of complex traits.

TL;DR: The data provide strong evidence of a major prostate cancer susceptibility locus on chromosome 1, and an additional set of 25 North American and Swedish families with markers in this region resulted in significant evidence of linkage in the combined set of 91 families.
