Mutation of patched gene （PTCH）, considered the molecular defect of NBCCS, in a Chinese NBCCS family was investigated in this study. Methods Genomic DNA was isolated from blood samples of all 12 members of this family. The mutated PTCH gene was screened by polymerase chain reaction amplification and direct sequencing. Results A new mutation of 3 bp （GAT deletion） was found in all seven affected members of this family. This mutation caused one aspartate deletion in the fourth transmembrane domain of the PTCH protein located within the sterol sensing domain （SSD）. This deletion was not found in any unaffected members of this family nor in 200 control samples.Conclusions Our findings suggest that one 3-bp deletion in PTCH gene was the cause of nevoid basal cell carcinoma in a Chinese family through affecting the conformation and function of PTCH protein.展开更多

Its presentation is polymorphous, being frequent to appear the clinical triad carcinomas basal cell, odontogenic cysts and skeletal abnormalities. Skin lesions are a very frequent reason for consultation in the paediatric age, being evaluated in most cases in primary care. Sometimes, patients need the intervention of other specialists to deep in a given area. The medical literature shows a fragmented view of the disease, possibly related to the low frequency of appearance of this syndrome, and by the need for intervention of not transversal knowledge specialist, which is why we feel interesting to evaluate the role of specialist who is developing the activity at primary care, with patients who require a multidisciplinary intervention.展开更多

Methodology Mutation analysis was undertaken in 8 sporadic and 4 NBCCS-associated KCOTs. Results Four novel and two known mutations were identifled in 2 sporadic and 3 syndromic cases, two of which being germline mutations （c.2179delT, c.2824delC） and 4 somatic mutations （c.3162dupG, c.1362-1374dup, c.1012 C〉T, c.403C〉T）. Conclusion Our findings suggest that defects of PTCH are associated with the pathogenesis of syndromic as well as a subset of non-syndromic KCOTs.展开更多
