Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta receptor-dependent signals are critical for cell growth and differentiation and are often disrupted during tumorigenesis. The entire coding region of TGFbetaRI and flanking intron sequences from 53 primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues were examined for alterations using SSCP and direct sequencing. No somatic point mutations other than two silent mutations and a...
