The PTEN gene, located on 10q23.3, has recently been described as a candidate tumour suppressor gene that may be important in the development of advanced cancers, including gliomas. We have investigated mutation by direct sequence analysis PCR products amplified from samples microdissected 19 low grade (WHO Grade I and II) 27 high III IV) archival, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded Eleven genetic variants ten tumours identified. Eight these are DNA changes could affect encoded protein were...
