Title in Portuguese
Pesquisa de mutações no gene CDKN2A em pacientes com critérios clínicos de melanoma hereditário.
Keywords in Portuguese
CDKN2A
Cromossomo 9.
Melanoma hereditário
Neoplasia
PCR
SSCP
Abstract in Portuguese
A incidência do melanoma, tumor maligno que se origina dos melanócitos, vem crescendo em todo o mundo. História familial positiva da doença tem sido relatada em 8 a 14% dos pacientes afetados. Muitos estudos sugeriram o envolvimento da região 9p21, onde se encontra o gene CDKN2A, no surgimento dessa neoplasia. Este é um gene supressor tumoral clássico e a inativação dos dois alelos tem sido detectadas em linhagens celulares tumorais de famílias com melanoma hereditário e esporádico. Mutações em linhagens germinativas do gene CDKN2A têm sido identificadas em aproximadamente 20% das famílias com melanoma familial. Utilizando técnicas de biologia molecular como Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase (PCR), Conformação Estrutural de Fita Simples (SSCP) e seqüenciamento, este projeto estudou 22 pacientes com critérios clínicos de melanoma hereditário e encontrou uma mutação (P48T) em um paciente numa família de três afetados. Em 13 casos foi identificado pelo menos um dos três polimorfismos: 500 C>G (31,9%), 540 C>T (27,3%) e A148T (4,5%). Os resultados demonstram a importância da pesquisa de mutações no gene CDKN2A principalmente em famílias com dois ou mais membros afetados pela doença.

Abstract in English
The incidence of melanoma, malign tumor that originates from melanocytes, is increasing all over the world. Positive familial history of disease has been related in 8 to 14% of affected patients. Several studies have suggest the 9p21 region evolvement, where is located the CDKN2A gene, in the arising of this neoplasia. It is a classic tumor suppressor gene and the inactivation of two alleles has been detected in tumor cells lines of families with hereditary and sporadic melanoma. Nowadays germeline mutations in CDKN2A gene have been identified in almost 20% of families with familial melanoma. Using molecular biology techniques like Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Single Strand Conformational Polymorphism (SSCP) and sequencing, this project studied 22 patients with clinical pattern of hereditary melanoma and it found one mutation (P48T) in one patient belonged to a three affected family. Thirteen cases had at least one of the three polymorphisms: 500 C>G (31,9%), 540 C>T (27,3%) e A148T (4,5%). The results show the importance of the search for mutations in the CDKN2A gene mainly in families with two or more affected by disease.
