抄録

In the present study, we searched for genetic alterations of the entire coding region of PTEN/MMACl, a recently isolated candidate tumor suppressor gene, in 178 specimens from Japanese patients with various malignant tumors by the polymerase chain reaction‐single strand conformation polymorphism method. The samples consisted of 11 glioblastoma multiformes (GBMs), 14 astrocytomas, 47 breast cancers, 25 non‐small cell lung cancers, 9 small cell lung cancers, 8 pancreatic cancers, 24 renal cell carcinomas, 20 ovarian cancers, and 20 metastatic lung tumors from various organs. Only one somatic frameshift mutation at codon 319 was observed in one (9%) of eleven GBMs. Our results suggest that mutation of the PTEN/MMAC1 gene does not play a major role in carcinogenesis, at least in the tumor types from Japanese patients analyzed in this study.
