Primary malignant lymphoma of the brain: analysis of MMAC1 (PTEN) tumor suppressor gene.

abstract：:Recent studies on gliomas have shown frequent alterations in the alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked gene (ATRX). This study was designed to determine whether ATRX status correlates with uptake of 11C-methionine in WHO grades II and III gliomas. Sixty-two patients underwent 11C-methionine positron e...
