Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The somatostatin receptor SST2 mediates the antiproliferative effect of stable somatostatin analogues. SST2 gene expression is lost in most human pancreatic carcinomas. We investigated the mechanisms that could be involved in this defect. METHODS: SST2 gene structure was investigated by sequencing and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Characterization of the polymorphism was performed...
