Tuberous sclerosis is a dominantly inherited genetic disorder, with a
high frequency of new mutations, which has been shown through genetic
linkage studies to be genetically heterogeneous. In this paper we
summarize recent progress in linkage studies which indicate that there
is one TSC gene on chromosome 9q34 which accounts for approximately 40%
of cases and another on chromosome 16p13.3 which accounts for
approximately 50% of cases. We discuss the map position of these TSC
genes on chromosome 9q34 and 16p13.3. We discuss physical mapping data
in these two regions. We postulate on the pathogenesis of TSC lesions
and on the cause of the high frequency of new mutations. We present a
strategy to progress from the mapping of the TSC genes to isolation of
these genes.
The above citations and abstracts reflect those newly added to CANCERLIT for the month and topic listed in the title. The citations have been retrieved from CANCERLIT using a predefined search strategy of indexed subject terms. Although the search strategy has been refined as best as possible, citations may appear that are not directly related to the topic, and occasionally relevant references may be omitted.
