Assignee:

Myriad Genetics, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT

International Classification:

C12P 1934

US Classification:

435 912

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to cloning the ends of genes. Traditionally it has been very difficult to recover the 5' end of a gene. The present invention greatly eases this problem. The invention is a variation on RACE and uses a combination of techniques. Specific genes are purified by using three enrichment steps--1) a polymerase chain reaction, 2) a hybrid capture step, and 3) a second polymerase chain reaction. The inclusion of the hybrid capture step results in a greater enrichment than occurs with RACE. The ends of the gene are retained by use of a novel technique of attaching adaptors at the ends of the nucleic. The 5' end of the gene is conserved by preparing a first strand of cDNA and ligating to this an adaptor which is partially double stranded wherein the overhang or single stranded region of the adaptor is degenerate which allows for a fraction of the adaptor population to hybridize with the first strand of cDNA at the 3' end of the cDNA. This hybridization holds the adaptor in conjunction with the cDNA during the ligation step thereby resulting in a highly efficient ligation. The unique portion of the adaptor is used to design an oligomer to prime the second strand synthesis.

US Classification:

4352523

Abstract:

The present invention relates to the Multiple Tumor Suppressor (MTS) genes in mice, their expression products, and their homology to the human MTS genes. The human MTS genes are involved in human cancers. The invention is further related to the use of the MTS genes in the therapy, diagnosis and prognosis of human cancer. The invention further relates to mutations in the MTS gene and their use in the diagnosis of predisposition to melanoma, leukemia, astrocytoma, glioblastoma, lymphoma, glioma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, CLL, and cancers of the pancreas, breast, thyroid, ovary, uterus, testis, kidney, stomach and rectum. The invention also relates to the therapy of human cancers which have a mutation in the MTS gene, including gene therapy, protein replacement therapy and protein mimetics. Finally, the invention relates to the screening of drugs for cancer therapy.
