Abstract excerpt
The deleted in colorectal carcinoma (DCC) gene is a potential tumor-suppressor gene on chromosome 18q21.3. The relatively high frequency of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and loss of expression of this gene in neuroblastoma, especially in the advanced stages, imply the possibility of involvement of the DCC gene in progression of neuroblastoma. However, only few typical mutations have been identified in this gene,...
