Malignancy-associated allelic losses on the X-chromosome in foregut but not in midgut endocrine tumours

Abstract

Information on genetic changes involved in the progression of gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) endocrine tumours is scanty. On the other hand, the identification of molecular markers of malignancy could be crucial for the prognostic evaluation of these neoplasms, which is hardly predictable on the basis of conventional histological criteria. An association of X-chromosome deletions with malignancy has already been found in gastric endocrine tumours. To investigate this further, a comparative loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis was performed on 17 pancreatic endocrine tumours (PETs) and 17 intestinal (ten ileal, six appendiceal, and one rectal) carcinoids from female patients. The relationship of X-chromosome LOH with the ploidy status of the neoplasms was also investigated. LOH was found in six of eight malignant PETs (60% of the informative markers), but was infrequent in the nine benign ones (4.5%). In contrast, although retention of heterozygosity was consistently observed in benign midgut tumours, LOH was infrequent in malignant carcinoids (15%). No correlation was found between LOH and the ploidy status. These results indicate an association between X-chromosome LOH and malignancy in foregut endocrine tumours. The lack of su...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.
