“…In addition, recent reports have demonstrated that frequent mutation of the b-catenin gene and nuclear accumulation of its protein product are one of the main causes of the tumorigenesis of HBL. The APC and Axin genes are also mutated in some HBLs (Oda et al, 1996;Miao et al, 2003;Thomas et al, 2003), indicating that Wnt signaling pathway plays an important role in causing the tumors, most of which are AFP-positive. Therefore, the poor-prognostic HBL without producing AFP might be caused by the particular mechanism additional to or other than the abnormality of Wnt signaling pathway.…”

“…The peak age at onset is approximately 3 years, and the relative risk in FAP patients as compared to the general population is reported to be 176 to more than 420 153,154) . Imaging examinations, including abdominal ultrasonography are used for the diagnosis, and 90% of the patients have high levels of α-fetoprotein (AFP) 155) . CHRPE is known to be frequently associated with hepatoblastoma, and FAP patients with a family history of hepatoblastoma are known to be at a higher risk 156) .…”

“…Ortalama tanı yaşı 19 ay olarak bildirilmekte ve çoğu çocukluk çağı kanserleri gibi erkek çocuklarda 1-3 kat daha fazla görül-mektedir. Hastalık sporadik olarak görülebildiği gibi, Beckwith-Wiedemann sendromu, ailevi adenomatöz polipozis sendromları ile birliktelik gösterebilir (6) . Son yıllarda gerek Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Ulusal Kanser Enstitüsünün Sürveyans (SEER) verilerine ve gerek Japonya ve Avrupa raporlarına göre son 30 yılda yıllık insidansının arttığı görülmektedir (4) .…”

“…Beckwith-Wiedemann sendromu, hemihipertrofi, Trizomi 18 (Edward's sendromu) ve ailevi adenomatöz polipozis olgularında hepatoblastom sıklığının arttığı bilinmektedir (6) . Sporadik olgularda ve ailevi adenomatöz polipozis olgularında beşinci kromozomda bulunan APC tümör baskılayıcı gende mutasyon saptanmıştır.…”
