Mutational inactivation of the proapoptotic gene <i>BAX</i> confers selective advantage during tumor clonal evolution
12 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
A remarkable instability at simple repeated sequences characterizes gastrointestinal cancer of the microsatellite mutator phenotype (MMP). Mutations in the DNA mismatch repair gene family underlie the MMP, a landmark for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. These tumors define a distinctive pathway for carcinogenesis because they display a particular spectrum of mutated cancer genes containing target...
