Abstract:
Ollier disease is an uncommon, nonhereditary developmental disorder affecting enchondral ossification. Cytogenetic analysis of low-grade chondrosarcoma in a patient with Ollier disease (multiple enchondromatosis) revealed an interstitial deletion, del(1)(p11p31.2), as the only chromosome abnormality. This is the first cytogenetic study of a chondrosarcoma in a patient with Ollier disease. Such patients are at risk of developing chondrosarcoma and, because del(1p) is frequent in chondrosarcoma, it is suggested that this cytogenetic finding is associated with early chondrosarcomatous transformation.

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
