Screening E-cadherin in gastric cancer families reveals germline mutations only in hereditary diffuse gastric cancer kindred
10 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
The International Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium (IGCLC) predicted that up to 25% of families fulfilling the criteria for hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) would harbor CDH1 germline mutations. This was based on observations from the low number of diffuse gastric cancer families described at the time, and its validation would require analysis of larger numbers. Here we report the results of germline...
