Abstract excerpt
The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, a member of the Wingless/Wnt signal transduction pathway, has been implicated in the development of medulloblastomas in Turcot's syndrome. beta-catenin also functions in this highly conserved signaling pathway and is instrumental in growth and development. Mutations in either APC or beta-catenin can stabilize beta-catenin protein. Stabilized beta-catenin complexes with...
