Mutation analysis of the RECQL4 gene in sporadic osteosarcomas
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most prevalent malignant tumor among cases of Rothmund‐Thomson syndrome (RTS) with germline mutations of the RECQL4 gene, a member of the RecQ helicase family. We investigated the involvement of the RECQL4 gene in the development of OS unrelated to RTS. RECQL4 mRNA was detec...

Zusammenfassung: | Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most prevalent malignant tumor among cases of Rothmund‐Thomson syndrome (RTS) with germline mutations of the RECQL4 gene, a member of the RecQ helicase family. We investigated the involvement of the RECQL4 gene in the development of OS unrelated to RTS. RECQL4 mRNA was detected in 9 of 9 OS cell lines by Northern blotting and 26 of 26 OS tumors by RT‐PCR. Direct sequencing of the entire coding region along with flanking splice junctions and 13 small ( |
