Abstract excerpt
The cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin (CDH1; MIM# 192090) has been implicated in numerous cellular functions, ranging from controlling morphogenesis to suppressing tumor invasion. We describe 11 previously unreported somatic E-cadherin mutations in two subgroups of gastric and breast cancer showing markedly reduced homophilic cell-to-cell interactions. Using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction...
