뇌종양에서 17번 염색체 단완부 소실에 관한 분자유전학적 연구 = Loss of Heterozygosity of Chromosome 17p in Brain Tumors

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

With the methods of restriction fragment length polymorphisms(RFLPs) and southern blot analysis, gene deletion of chromosome 17p in 16 cases of brain tumors, was investigated. There were 4 cases of glioblastoma multiforme, 1 case of anaplastic astrocytoma, 4 cases of low grade astrocytoma, 3 cases of oligodendroglioma, and 4 cases of meningioma. Among restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) DNA located in chromosome 17p, p144D 6 and p SNZ 22 were imployed as the probes. In eight of 16 cases(50％) constitutional heterozygosity was observed for p144 D6 probe on the short arm of chromosome 17, and in nine of 16 cases(56％) for PYNZ 22.1 probe. With both probes constitutional heterozygosity was observed in thirteen of 16 cases(81％). And the loss of constitutional heterozygosity was detected in two of 14 informative cases. Although, with the malignant gliomas, including 4 cases of glioblastoma multiforme and 1 case of anaplastic astrocytoma, two of 4 informative cases showed loss of constitutional heterozygosity. None of 9 informative cases showed loss of heterozygosity with the other brain tumors(low grade astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, and meningioma).
