    BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline mutation spectrum and frequencies in Belgian breast/ovarian cancer families

    Worldwide variation in the distribution of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations is well recognised, and for the Belgian population no comprehensive studies about BRCA1/2 mutation spectra or frequencies have been published. ...

    Chromosomal radiosensitivity in breast cancer patients with a known or putative genetic predisposition

    The chromosomal radiosensitivity of breast cancer patients with a known or putative genetic predisposition was investigated and compared to a group of healthy women. The chromosomal radiosensitivity was assess...

    Characterisation of two different nonsense mutations, C6792A and C6792G, causing skip** of exon 37 in the NF1 gene

    Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), characterised by peripheral neurofibromas, café-au-lait spots and iris Lisch nodules, is one of the most common inherited disorders. We have analysed exons 35 to 49 in 21 unrel...

    Spontaneous acquisition of tumorigenicity and invasiveness by mouse lens explant cells during culture in vitro

    The lens of the eye is one of the rare organs in which tumors do not occur spontaneously. It therefore appeared to us that lens cells would not present the background of spontaneous transformation toward malig...

    Correlations of Malignancy in Cultured Cells

    Normal tissues are under strict growth control (G- phenotype). Benign tumours differ from normal tissues by loss of growth control (G+ phenotype), but they are not invasive (I- phenotype) and not metastatic (M- p...
