Summary for Patent: 5,776,738
Title: Method of human prohibitin gene analysis
Abstract:The 3\' untranslated region of the human prohibitin gene has been isolated for use in a cancer susceptibility screen and as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of cancer.
Inventor(s): Dell\'Orco, Sr.; Robert Thomas (Edmond, OK), MClung; J. Keith (Norman, OK), Jupe; Eldon (Norman, OK), Liu; Xiao-Tie (Edmond, OK), King; Robert (Oklahoma City, OK)
Assignee: Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (Oklahoma City, OK)
Application Number:08/728,259
Patent Claims:1. A method of prohibitin gene analysis in a human patient comprising the steps of:

a) analyzing the prohibitin genotype of said patient for the occurrence of the prohibitin gene B allele, and;

b) analyzing the 3'UTR of the prohibitin gene from said patient for the occurrence of mutations by determining the sequence of the 3'UTR of the prohibitin gene from said patient.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the prohibitin genotype of said patient is analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of a region surrounding the intron 5/exon 6 splice site and single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of the resulting amplified fragment.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the prohibitin genotype of said patient is analyzed by PCR amplification of a region surrounding the intron 5/exon 6 splice site and digestion of the resulting amplified fragment with BsmAI endonuclease.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the prohibitin genotype of said patient is analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the prohibitin gene.
