The CDC73 gene provides instructions for making a protein called parafibromin. This protein is found primarily in the nucleus of cells and is likely involved in regulating gene transcription, which is the first step in protein production. Parafibromin functions as a tumour suppressor, which means it keeps cells from growing and dividing (proliferating) too fast or in an uncontrolled way. When parafibromin is found outside the nucleus, it appears to be involved in the organisation of the cell's structural framework (the cytoskeleton).

Chemotherapy and other treatments may aim to cure the cancer A cure is the aim in many cases. Some cancers can be cured with chemotherapy alone. Sometimes chemotherapy is used in addition to another main treatment. For example, you may have surgery to remove a tumour but you may also be given a course of chemotherapy after the surgery. This aims.

Cri du chat syndrome is a chromosome problem caused by a missing piece of chromosome 5. The syndrome is called cri du chat (French for cry of the cat) because affected babies often have a high-pitched cry.

Scintigraphie au gallium
A gallium scan uses a radioactive chemical to help create pictures which can show areas of possible infection, injury, inflammation or cancer. It does this by looking for areas where there is rapid cell division within the body. Note : the information below is a general guide only. The arrangements, and the way tests are performed, may vary.
