Glossary Term
Any transmissible change in the genetic material of an organism, which can result from radiation, viral infection, transposition, treatment with mutagenic chemicals and errors during DNA replication or meiosis. The effects of mutation range from single base changes to loss or gain of complete chromosomes. As many of the simpler alterations to DNA may be repaired, such changes are only heritable once the change is fixed in the DNA by the process of replication. Mutations may be associated with genetic diversity or with pathologies including cancer.
Pcr Terms
Tests
The determination of cellular MX1 protein expression in a biospecimen.
For professionals
Indicators
This gene plays a role in hematopoietic cell proliferation and development.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in cell cycle progression and apoptosis. Cytogenetic aberrations in the gene are involved in cellular transformation and are associated with a variety of hematopoietic tumors, leukemias and lymphomas.
Indicators
This gene is involved in transcriptional regulation and is frequently amplified in small-cell lung cancer.
Indicators
This gene is involved in transcriptional regulation and amplification of this gene is associated with a variety of tumors, most notably neuroblastomas.
