" /> Chordoma, susceptibility to - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Chordoma, susceptibility to;

Symbol : CHDM;

CISMeF acronym : CHDM;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Chordomas are rare, clinically malignant tumors derived from notochordal remnants. They occur along the length of the spinal axis, predominantly in the sphenooccipital, vertebral, and sacrococcygeal regions. They are characterized by slow growth, local destruction of bone, extension into adjacent soft tissues, and, rarely, distant metastatic spread (Stepanek et al., 1998). The incidence of chordoma is age-dependent, with fewer than 5% occurring in children and adolescents (summary by McMaster et al., 2011).;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Susceptibility conferred by duplication of the homolog of the mouse T brachyury gene (T, 601397);

Prefixed ID : #215400;
