Frequency ofTPR-MET rearrangement in patients with gastric carcinoma and in first-degree relatives

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The activation of the c-met protooncogene through a rearrangement has been detected previously in gastric carcinoma tissue and precancerous lesions. In the current study the authors analyzed the rearrangement of TPR-MET in gastric carcinoma patients and in first-degree relatives to evaluate the potential role and timepoint of this genetic alteration in the process of gastric carcinogenesis and its...
