Patients with basal cell nevus syndrome have a high incidence of multiple basal cell carcinomas, medulloblastomas, and meningiomas. Because somatic PATCHED (PTCH) mutations have been found in sporadic basal cell carcinomas, we have screened for PTCH mutations in several types of sporadic extracutaneous tumors. We found that 2 of 14 sporadic medulloblastomas bear somatic nonsense mutations in one copy of the gene and also deletion of the other copy. In addition, we identified missense mutations in PTCH in two of seven breast carcinomas, one of nine meningiomas, and one colon cancer cell line. No PTCH gene mutations were detected in 10 primary colon carcinomas and eighteen bladder carcinomas.
