Abstract excerpt
The type II transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta receptor gene (TGFBR2) is often mutated in nucleotide repeat sequences in colorectal cancers that are replication error positive (RER+). These mutations are thought to be selected for escape from growth inhibition by TGF-beta rather than representing bystander events because of an increased mutation rate. We investigated the role of TGFBR2 mutations in 12...
