Abstract excerpt
CDX2 is a caudal-related homeobox transcription factor whose expression in the adult is normally restricted to intestinal epithelium. Mice heterozygous for germ line Cdx2 inactivation develop intestinal polyps, and the lesions lack Cdx2 expression. Prior studies indicate some human colon carcinomas also lack CDX2 expression. To address the role of CDX2 defects in colon cancer development, we analyzed CDX2...
