“How do driver mutations affect the development or progression of cancer?
alter the function of cancer genes
and thereby directly contribute to the development
or progression of a given cancer
“What is the typical example of point mutations in proto-oncogenes in terms of their function?”
A cardinal example is the RAS gene
“Which gene is most commonly affected by point mutations?”
TP53
What type of chromosomal translocation occurs in Burkitt lymphoma, and between which chromosomes does it occur?”
translocation, between chromosomes 8 and 14
Leads to overexpression of the MYC gene on chromosome 14
In follicular B cell lymphomas which Genes?
overexpression of the antiapoptotic gene
BCL2, on chromosome 18
Which chromosome is responsible for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)
***Philadelphia (Ph)
translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22
BCR gene on chromosome 22 and the ABL gene on chromosome 9.
BCR-ABL fusion gene encodes?
tyrosine kinase with potent transforming activity
What genetic event is associated with retinoblastoma involving deletions at the 13q14 site, and which specific gene is affected by these deletions?”
RB Deletiation
What is the significance of the deletion of 17p in cancer genetics?
Deletion of 17p is associated with the loss of TP53, which is the most important tumor suppressor gene.
Which gene is clinically significant in neuroblastoma when amplified?
The NMYC gene is clinically significant in neuroblastoma when amplified.
Which gene is clinically significant in breast cancers when overexpressed/amplified?
HER2
What is the definition of aneuploidy in genetics?
fazla kromozom
.
.
What is CDKN2A, and what are its two encoded tumor suppressors?
p14/ARF colon and gastric cancers.
p16/INK4a is silenced in a wide variety of cancers.
Both p14/ARF and p16/INK4a affect the p53 and Rb pathways.
How can tumor suppressor genes be silenced?
Tumor suppressor genes can be silenced by hypermethylation of their promoter sequences.
What is the origin of malignant tumors?
Malignant tumors are monoclonal in origin.
Are tumor cells genetically homogeneous or heterogeneous?
Tumor cells are genetically heterogeneous.
ERB-B1 (EGF receptor): is overexpressed in ?
80% to 100%
squamous cell carcinomas of the lung
HER2/NEU (ERB-B2): is amplified in 25% to 30% of
