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.

Acute WNT signalling activation perturbs differentiation within the adult stomach and rapidly leads to tumour formation [PDF]
A role for WNT signalling in gastric carcinogenesis has been suggested due to two major observations. First, patients with germline mutations in adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) are susceptible to stomach polyps and second, in gastric cancer, WNT ...

Somatic Mutation Rate of the APC Gene [PDF]
Somatic inactivation of the wild-type APC gene is involved in the development of adenoma of familial adenomatous polyposis. This situation is also true in sporadic adenomas. It is of biological interest to know the somatic mutation rate of the APC gene.The number of stem cells of the colon (N) and somatic mutation rate of the APC gene in a stem cell in

Genetic analysis in APC, KRAS, and TP53 in patients with stomach and colon cancer
Background: Stomach cancer (SC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) present with high rates of incidence and mortality in the worldwide population. These 2 tumors are characterized by great genetic heterogeneity.

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.

Expression of inflammation-related genes is associated with adipose tissue location in horses [PDF]
Background : In humans, adipose tissue (AT) originating from different depots shows varying gene expression profiles. In horses, the risk of certain metabolic disorders may also be influenced by the impact of specific AT depots.

A multigene mutation classification of 468 colorectal cancers reveals a prognostic role for APC
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly heterogeneous disease, for which prognosis has been relegated to clinicopathologic staging for decades. There is a need to stratify subpopulations of CRC on a molecular basis to better predict outcome and assign ...
