Abstract excerpt
E-cadherin plays a critical role in epithelial cell-cell adhesion and maintenance of tissue architecture. Loss of E-cadherin expression in humans has been associated with cancer, and a number of cancer-related mutations have been identified. Here, we sought to investigate whether the -347G-->GA single nucleotide polymorphism affects the transcriptional activity of the E-cadherin gene. First, we measured the...
