Abstract excerpt
Replication error (RER)-related genetic alterations are associated with a subset of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) with multiple primary cancers. This study investigated whether mutations in the nucleotide repeats of three putative target genes of RER are associated with hepatocarcinogenesis. The genes examined were those encoding transforming growth factor beta type II receptor (TGF-betaRII), BCL-2-associated...
