Abstract excerpt
Inappropriate activation of the Wnt pathway resulting from beta-catenin gene alterations has recently been implicated in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To explore the in vivo effects of mutated beta-catenin, HCC specimens from 32 patients carrying one or several tumors were screened for somatic mutations in exon 3 of the beta-catenin gene, and the expression and subcellular localization of...
