Germ-line mutation of the E-cadherin gene was reported in familial gastric cancer (FGC) kindreds from New Zealand. Therefore, we analyzed all of the exons of E-cadherin by PCR-single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis in 16 patients from 14 Japanese FGC kindreds. However, no germ-line mutation was detected, suggesting that a predisposition to FGCs by E-cadherin gene mutation is infrequent in Japanese cases.
在来自新西兰的家族性胃癌(FGC)家族中报道了E-钙黏蛋白基因的种系突变。因此,我们通过聚合酶链反应-单链构象多态性分析,对来自14个日本FGC家族的16例患者的E-钙黏蛋白所有外显子进行了分析。然而,未检测到种系突变,这表明在日本病例中,E-钙黏蛋白基因突变导致FGC易感性的情况并不常见。
