Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence indicate that beta-catenin acquires oncogenic activity when its intracellular concentration increases as a result of either mutation in the beta-catenin gene itself or inactivation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. In an attempt to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatocellular carcinogenesis, we have studied the frequency of beta-catenin gene alterations in...
