Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations in the beta-catenin gene is thought to be responsible for the excessive beta-catenin signaling involved in the majority of colon carcinomas in rodent models. Our recent study which indicated that beta-catenin mutations are present frequently in early dysplastic lesions of rat colon induced by a colon-specific carcinogen, azoxymethane led us to perform more specifically a comparative study...
