Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the beta-catenin gene (CTNNB 1) with abnormal nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin have recently been identified in endometrial carcinoma (EC). Their relationship with microsatellite instability (MI) is unclear. It has been suggested that matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) and cyclin D1 (cD) genes are targets for beta-catenin activation. DNA from 73 patients with EC was obtained from tumor and normal...
