Abstract excerpt
Particular mucinous phenotypes have been associated with serrated epithelial polyps of the colon. These polyps also show a high frequency of DNA instability. The aim of this study was to examine the expression of mucins in colorectal cancers that arise through the suppressor and mutator pathways. The immunohistochemical distribution of the human apomucins MUC1, MUC2, MUC4, and MUC5AC was determined in 93 sporadic...
