Abstract excerpt
To understand the nature and roles of mutated beta-catenin in human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), 57 cases of surgically resected HCCs were studied. DNAs extracted from each tumor were examined for somatic mutations of exon 3, and the protein expressions of beta-catenin, cyclin D1, and Ki-67 were observed by immunohistochemical staining. beta-catenin mutations in exon 3 were detected in 10 (17.5%) out of 57...
