RFLP analysis of human chromosome 11 region q13 in multiple symmetric lipomatosis and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1-associated lipomas
Abstract
Six lipomas from patients affected by Multiple Symmetric Lipomatosis (MSL) and by Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (MEN 1) were analyzed for loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 11 region q12-13 using four RFLPs. Allelic loss for the D11S146 locus was found only in one visceral MEN 1-associated lipoma. Lipomas that exhibited a lack of allelic lesions were analyzed for an eventual abnormal amount or a defective function of the Gs protein by studying the Gs alpha subunit gene, codons 201 and 207, by PCR and TGGE techniques. All the samples were negative for activating mutations.
