Abstract excerpt
We have analysed the genetic alteration of the entire coding region and all splice sites of caspase-8 and -10 genes in 99 gastric cancers by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and sequencing. We found LOH of the caspase-8 and -10 in nine (28%) of 32 and in four (15%) of 26 informative cases, respectively. Overall, three of 99 gastric cancers (3%) were found to have the...
