Low frequency of germline E-cadherin mutations in familial and nonfamilial gastric cancer
12 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors to the development of gastric cancer. Mutations in the cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin are recognized to be associated with the development of undifferentiated, diffuse and invasive gastric cancers. A recent study of two gastric cancer families has shown that germline mutations in the E-cadherin gene can be causative (Guilford...
