Hybridization of M13 phage DNA to Southern blots of human DNA produces an individual-specific DNA fingerprint. In this study, tumour and lymphocyte DNA from a series of patients with melanoma, Merkel-cell carcinoma, Burkitt's lymphoma and Wilms' tumour was probed with M13 DNA to detect somatic mutations in the DNA of the tumours. Somatic changes were observed in tumour DNA of 16 out of the 28 cases examined. This frequency compared favourably with the frequency with which tumour-specific changes have been found when using the Jeffreys DNA fingerprinting probe 33.15, and demonstrates that M13 DNA provides a useful additional probe for the study of somatic changes in tumours. The finding that multiple DNA fragments were lost or gained in DNA fingerprints from individual tumours indicates a marked degree of complexity in the genetic changes involved in the evolution of certain human cancers.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D009396 Wilms Tumor A malignant kidney tumor, caused by the uncontrolled multiplication of renal stem (blastemal), stromal (STROMAL CELLS), and epithelial (EPITHELIAL CELLS) elements. However, not all three are present in every case. Several genes or chromosomal areas have been associated with Wilms tumor which is usually found in childhood as a firm lump in a child's side or ABDOMEN.

D002051 Burkitt Lymphoma A form of undifferentiated malignant LYMPHOMA usually found in central Africa, but also reported in other parts of the world. It is commonly manifested as a large osteolytic lesion in the jaw or as an abdominal mass. B-cell antigens are expressed on the immature cells that make up the tumor in virtually all cases of Burkitt lymphoma. The Epstein-Barr virus (HERPESVIRUS 4, HUMAN) has been isolated from Burkitt lymphoma cases in Africa and it is implicated as the causative agent in these cases; however, most non-African cases are EBV-negative.
