Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of the E-cadherin gene has been described previously in gastric carcinomas. In the present study, we investigated the alterations of the E-cadherin gene in gastric carcinomas and analyzed the relationship between such alterations and the histotypes of the tumors. We performed PCR/single-strain conformation polymorphism mutation screening and loss of heterozygosity analysis of the E-cadherin gene in a...
