Abstract excerpt
On 18q, frequently deleted in late stage colorectal cancers, a gene, Deleted in Colon Cancer (DCC), has been identified and postulated to play a role as a tumor suppressor gene. DCC is retained in the majority of mucinous tumors, which produce high levels of mucins, and seems to be preferentially expressed in intestinal goblet cells. To investigate whether DCC is related to mucin expression and can modulate the...
