Molecular markers for malignancy in adrenocortical tumors

Gicquel, C., Le Bouc, Y.·2008·Hormone Research

Abstract

Little is known about the pathophysiology of sporadic adrenocortical tumors. Benign and malignant adrenocortical tumors are often difficult to distinguish by conventional histology. We tested 38 adrenocortical tumors (23 benign and 15 malignant) for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 17p13 and abnormalities in the 11p15 region (uniparental disomy, UPD, and overexpression of the IGF II gene). We showed that 17p13 LOH, 11p15 UPD and overexpression of the IFG II gene are frequent in adrenocortical tumors, occurring in 40% of them. These genetic changes are associated with the malignant phenotype and thus could be used for diagnostic evaluation of adrenocortical tumors.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
