Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Somatic APC mutation, frequently associated with colorectal tumors, is implicated in the early stage of tumorigenesis. This study was performed to identify APC-related colorectal tumorigenesis in sporadic colorectal carcinomas with synchronous adenoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We screened the entire coding region of APC and also assessed 5q LOH, 5q MSI, and promoter hypermethylation in fresh...
