摘要:
A specific region of chromosome 10 (10q23.3) has been implicated by series of studies to contain a tumor suppressor gene involved in gliomas, as well as a number of other human cancers. One gene within this region was identified, and the corresponding coding region of the gene represents a novel 47 kD protein. A domain of this product has an exact match to the conserved catalytic domain of protein tyrosine phosphatases, indicating a possible functional role in phosphorylation events. Sequence analyses demonstrated the a number of exons of the gene were deleted in tumor cell lines used to define the 10q23.3 region, leading to the classification of this gene as a tumor suppressor. Further analyses have demonstrated the presence of a number of mutations in the gene in both glioma and prostate carcinoma cells. Methods for diagnosing and treating cancers related to this tumor suppressor, designated as TS10q23.3, also are disclosed.

摘要:
The present invention relates generally to the field of human genetics. Specifically, the present invention relates to methods and materials used to isolate and detect a human prostate cancer predisposing gene (HPC2), some alleles of which cause susceptibility to cancer, in particular prostate cancer. More specifically, the present invention relates to germline mutations in the HPC2 gene and their use in the diagnosis of predisposition to prostate cancer. The invention also relates to presymptomatic therapy of individuals who carry deleterious alleles of the HPC2 gene. The invention further relates to somatic mutations in the HPC2 gene in human prostate cancer and their use in the diagnosis and prognosis of human prostate cancer. Additionally, the invention relates to somatic mutations in the HPC2 gene in other human cancers and their use in the diagnosis and prognosis of human cancers. The invention also relates to the therapy of human cancers which have a mutation in the HPC2 gene, (including gene therapy, protein replacement therapy, protein mimetics, and inhibitors). The invention further relates to the screening of drugs for cancer therapy. The invention also relates to the screening of the HPC2 gene for mutations, which are useful for diagnosing the predisposition to prostate cancer. In addition, the invention relates to a paralog of human HPC2, the paralog being named ELAC1, and to orthologs of human HPC2, these being mouse Elac2, chimpanzee Elac2 and gorilla Elac2.
