PG - 665-7 AB - OBJECTIVE: To investigate amplification of zinc finger protein 217 (ZNF217) gene in ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma and its clinical significance. METHODS: Twenty three specimens of ovarian carcinoma, 10 specimens of ovarian benign tumors and 7 specimens of normal ovaries and two ovarian cancer cell lines, SKOV3 and HO-8910 were examined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). RESULTS: The amplification of ZNF217 was gained in 12 case of ovarian cancers, there was only 1 case in ovarian benign tumor and not amplication in normal ovary. CONCLUSION: The amplification of ZNF217 is associated with ovarian cancer. Oncogenes ZNF217 maybe play a role in cell differentiation and indicate poorer survival in patients with ovarian cancer.
