title: A new germline mutation of the PTCH gene in a Japanese patient with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome associated with meningioma.
abstract: We employed polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing analysis to characterize the PTCH gene in a Japanese nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) patient suffering from meningioma, multiple basal cell carcinoma and epidermal cysts. Direct sequence analyses revealed a novel single base deletion at nucleotide 2613 in exon 16 (2613delC) in one PTCH allele, resulting in the frame shift and the introduction of a premature termination codon in this mutated allele.
