Abstract excerpt
A number of lines of evidence have suggested that the long arm of chromosome 18 apart from SMAD4 may carry a tumor-suppressor gene(s) that plays a role in the early stage of pancreatic ductal carcinogenesis. Thus, adenovirus-mediated introduction of SMAD4 does not suppress in vitro growth in cells with completely inactivated SMAD4, and frequent loss of 18q at the SMAD4 locus is observed in pancreatic cancers but...
