PG - 307-12 AB - Recently, the succinate dehydrogenase subunit D (SDHD) gene has been reported as one of the major susceptibility genes for pheochromocytoma (PCC) and paraganglioma (PGL). In addition, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 11, mainly in 11q23 and 11q13, is observed frequently in PGL. Based on the fact that mutation frequency of the SDHD gene is less than that of allelic loss at chromosome11q, where the SDHD gene is located, this region may contain other candidate tumor-suppressor genes involved in pathogenesis of PCC/PGL. The tumor-suppressor gene Men1 located in 11q13 is responsible for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (Men1). However, the involvement of the Men1 gene in tumorigenesis of sporadic PCC/PGL is yet to be determined. To understand the roles of the two tumor-suppressor genes and LOH on chromosome 11q in Chinese patients with sporadic PCC or PGL, we performed mutation detection of the SDHD and Men1 genes in tumors from 35 Chinese patients with PCC/PGL; we also did LOH analysis at chromosome 11q for 25 patients out of the 35. No mutation was found in all of 35 patients. However, LOH was detected at one or more loci in 11 of the 25 (44%) tumor samples. The highest frequency of LOH occurred at D11S2006 (41%). Our results suggested that mutation in SDHD or Men1 gene was not found in Chinese patients with sporadic PCC/PGL. However the loss of chromosome 11q might be critical in development of PCC or PGL.
