Meningiomas exhibit loss of heterozygosity of the APC gene [PDF]
The molecular mechanisms and candidate genes involved in development of meningiomas still need investigation and elucidation. In the present study 33 meningiomas were analyzed regarding genetic changes of tumor suppressor gene Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), a component of the wnt signaling.

A Case of Sporadic Multiple Colonic Polyps in a Young Woman
Sporadic colorectal cancer arises from an adenoma. As mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor gene have been frequently detected in colorectal adenomas, the APC gene is considered a gatekeeper in colorectal carcinogenesis. Here,

Methylation of the CpG sites only on the sense strand of the APC gene is specific for hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
Hypermethylation of the promoter of the tumor suppressor gene, adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), occurs in various malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, reports on the specificity of the methylation of the APC gene for HCC have

Readthrough of premature termination codons in the adenomatous polyposis coli gene restores its biological activity in human cancer cells. [PDF]
The APC tumor suppressor gene is frequently mutated in human colorectal cancer, with nonsense mutations accounting for 30% of all mutations in this gene.

APC mutation correlated with poor response of immunotherapy in colon cancer
Objective APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene mutation is a central initialization in colon cancer tumorigenesis. However, the connection between APC gene mutation and immunotherapy efficacy for colon cancer remains unknown. This study aimed to explore

Somatic mutations of the APC gene in colorectal tumors: mutation cluster region in the APC gene [PDF]
We examined somatic mutations of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene in 63 colorectal tumors (16 adenomas and 47 carcinomas) developed in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and non-FAP patients. In addition to loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the APC locus in 30 tumors, 43 other somatic mutations were detected.

p53 and APC gene mutations: software and databases [PDF]
A large number of different mutations in the APC and p53 tumor suppressor genes have been identified in various types of cancer. This substantial increase since our previous reports can enable analyses which were not previously possible. In order to capture all these new data, the software permitting analysis has been improved.

Loss of APC induces polyploidy as a result of a combination of defects in mitosis and apoptosis [PDF]
Mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor gene initiate a majority of colorectal cancers. Acquisition of chromosomal instability is an early event in these tumors.
