[Allelic imbalance of loci 17p13.1 (TP53), 1p36.1 (RUNX3), 16p22 (CDH1) and microsatellite instability in gastric
Abstract:
We examined allelic imbalance (AI) on loci 17p13.1 (TP53), 1p36.1 (RUNX) and 16p22 (CDHI) and microsatellite instability (MI) with BAT26 in 78 patients with gastric cancer. We have shown a significant difference in the frequency of allelic imbalance of the studied loci among different types of gastric cancer. Frequency of AI in 16p22.1 (CDH1) (p = 0.023), 17p13.1 (TP53) (p = 0.038), microsatellite instability (p = 0.047) and AD two and more loci in a single sample (p = 0.0176) was significantly higher in the intestinal type of gastric cancer than in the diffuse type. We have shown, that, frequency of AI in 16p22.1 (CDH1), and AD two and more loci in a single sample, was higher in thetumors with high or moderate type of tumor cells differentiation (p = 0.0414, p = 0.0057 respectively). We found no significant differences in the groups with metastases in regional lymph nodes, different tumor stage, localization of tumors and the generalization process.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
