As one of the first neuropathologists to investigate the use of FISH for 1p/19q deletion testing and to make it clinically available, Dr. Perry has amassed extensive experience with this technique and will address the practical issues and most common questions posed by both patients and the physicians involved in their care. Additional biomarkers that are either in common use or clinically promising for the diagnostic workup of gliomas will also be discussed.

Friday, March 10, 2006 - 9:30 AM
Harborview Medical Center, R&T Building, Room 109

Faculty Sponsor: Robert Hevner

Dr. Iwata has made mouse models of several fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) mutations. In humans, the mutations cause dwarfism (achondroplasia, thanatophoric dysplasia) and associated anomalies. Dr. Iwata and Dr. Hevner are collaborating to study cerebral cortex malformations in mice with the K644E kinase domain mutation in FGFR3. The malformation includes increased cortical thickness, hippocampal dysplasia, and abnormal cortical patterning.

The lecture is free and open to the public.
