Total-genome analysis of BRCA1/2-related invasive carcinomas of the breast identifies tumor stroma as potential landscaper for neoplastic initiation. (2006)

Weber, Frank, Shen, Lei, Fukino, Koichi, Patocs, Attila, Mutter, George L., Caldes, Trinidad, ...

We have shown that the tumor microenvironment of sporadic breast cancer is diverse in genetic alterations and contributes to the cancer phenotype. The dynamic morphology of the mammary gland might be...

Comparison of frozen and RNALater solid tissue storage methods for use in RNA expression microarrays (2004)

Mutter, George L, Zahrieh, David, Liu, Chunmei, Neuberg, Donna, Finkelstein, David, Baker, Heather E, ...

Abstract Background Primary human tissues are an invaluable widely used tool for discovery of gene expression patterns which characterize disease states. Tissue processing methods remain...

Altered PTEN Expression as a Diagnostic Marker for the Earliest Endometrial Precancers (2000)

Mutter, George L., Lin, Ming-Chieh, Fitzgerald, Jeffrey T., Kum, Jennifer B., Baak, Jan P. A., Lees, Jacqueline A., ...

Background: PTEN tumor suppressor gene mutations are the most frequent genetic lesions in endometrial adenocarcinomas of the endometrioid subtype. Testing the hypothesis that altered PTEN function...

Testis-specific expression of the human MYCL2 gene (1991)

Robertson, Nahid G., Pomponio, Robert J., Mutter, George L., Morton, Cynthia C.

We have characterized the expression of MYCL2, an intronless X-linked gene related to MYCL1. RNase protection analysis of a panel of human normal and tumor tissues has revealed that MYCL2 is...

Abrogation of the G2 cell cycle checkpoint associated with overexpression of HSIX1: A possible mechanism of breast carcinogenesis

Ford, Heide L., Kabingu, Edith N., Bump, Edward A., Mutter, George L., Pardee, Arthur B.

While conducting a search for cell cycle-regulated genes in human mammary carcinoma cells, we identified HSIX1, a recently discovered member of a new homeobox gene subfamily. HSIX1 expression was...

Differential Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Expression of PTEN in Normal Thyroid Tissue, and Benign and Malignant Epithelial Thyroid Tumors

Gimm, Oliver, Perren, Aurel, Weng, Liang-Ping, Marsh, Debbie J., Yeh, Jen Jen, Ziebold, Ulrike, ...

Germline mutations in PTEN (MMAC1/TEP1) are found in patients with Cowden syndrome, a familial cancer syndrome which is characterized by a high risk of breast and thyroid neoplasia. Although somatic...

Allelic Loss in Human Papillomavirus-Positive and -Negative Vulvar Squamous Cell Carcinomas

Pinto, Alvaro P., Lin, Ming-Chieh, Mutter, George L., Sun, Deqin, Villa, Luisa Lina, Crum, Christopher P.

Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) is a biologically and morphologically diverse disease, consisting of human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive and -negative tumors that differ in their morphological...

hMLH1 Promoter Hypermethylation Is an Early Event in Human Endometrial Tumorigenesis

Esteller, Manel, Catasus, Lluis, Matias-Guiu, Xavier, Mutter, George L., Prat, Jaime, Baylin, Steve B., ...

It has recently been suggested that silencing of the hMLH1 gene by promoter hypermethylation is the mechanism underlying the presence of the microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype in sporadic...

Immunohistochemical Evidence of Loss of PTEN Expression in Primary Ductal Adenocarcinomas of the Breast

Perren, Aurel, Weng, Liang-Ping, Boag, Alexander H., Ziebold, Ulricke, Thakore, Kosha, Dahia, Patricia L. M., ...

Germline mutations in PTEN, encoding a dual-specificity phosphatase on 10q23.3, cause Cowden syndrome (CS), which is characterized by a high risk of breast and thyroid cancers. Loss of heterozygosity...

p63 Coordinates Anogenital Modeling and Epithelial Cell Differentiation in the Developing Female Urogenital Tract

Ince, Tan A., Cviko, Aida P., Quade, Bradley J., Yang, Annie, McKeon, Frank D., Mutter, George L., ...

p63 is a p53 homologue required for cutaneous development that is expressed in immature squamous epithelium and reserve cells of the cervix. Humans with p63 mutations exhibit defects in limb,...
