Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are the most common carcinomas of young men aged 15-35. The molecular events involved in TGCT genesis are poorly understood. TGCTs have near universal amplification of the short arm of chromosome 12, however positional cloning efforts have not identified causative genes on 12p involved in formation or progression of TGCTs. Human embryonal carcinoma (EC) are the stem cells of TGCTs and are pluripotent. EC cells terminally differentiate toward a neuronal lineage ...[more]
