Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations of the APC gene cause familial adenomatous polyposis coli (FAP). APC inactivation results in dysregulation of wnt/wingless signaling and contributes to chromosomal instability in vitro. To investigate somatic alterations that follow a known germline mutation and contribute to the transition from normal to neoplastic mucosa, we studied 10 adenomatous polyps from a 27-year-old patient with an APC...
