Frequent loss of SMAD4/DPC4 protein in colorectal cancers

1 Jul 2002

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Loss of DNA sequences from chromosome 18q21 is a major genetic change in colorectal tumorigenesis. Multiple genes have been identified in this area. One of these, DPC4 (deleted in pancreatic cancer 4, also known as SMAD4), is mutated in a minor subset of colorectal carcinomas as well as in germlines of humans predisposed to colon tumours. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The involvement of SMAD4 in...
