Is the expression of PTEN associated with improved prognosis in patients with ampullary adenocarcinoma after pancreaticoduodenectomy?
Loss of PTEN expression is associated with poor DFS and OS in patients with AA after curative surgery. PTEN expression may be used as a prognostic marker for patients with resected AA.
The R2726W mutation is not responsible for skeletal malformation of primary protrusio acetabuli in our population, although there may be unidentified genetic variants in either FBN1 or other genes that control acetabular morphology.
