#730 Loss of Chromosome 18 in Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Midgut

Introduction: The genetic alterations in neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of the midgut, in particular of the appendix (aNET), are poorly characterized. The most frequent chromosomal aberration in ileal NET (iNET) is the loss of one chromosome 18. The relevance of this alteration is unclear.

#700 Comparative Expression Analysis of Chromosome 18 Related miRNAs in Ileal NET with and without Chr18 Loss

Introduction: MicroRNAs (miRs) play important roles in many kinds of biological processes. Because the (partial) loss of one chromosome 18 (Chr18) is a frequent event in ileal NETs (iNETs), we assessed the potential deregulation of miR-expression in these patients.
