Abstract excerpt
BAX gene mutations occur in approximately 50% of RER+ colorectal cancers. To determine the role of these mutations in tumour progression we analysed multiple different tumour sites from RER+ colorectal cancers for BAX mutations. Sixty colorectal carcinomas were analysed for microsatellite instability at loci BAT-26, L-myc, TGF betaRII, D13S160 and D2S123. Twelve out of 60 tumours (20%) were RER+. Forty-five...
