Abstract excerpt
The Wnt signaling pathway is essential for normal development and organogenesis. However, inappropriate activation of Wnt signaling, which results in the nuclear translocation of beta-catenin, is associated with the development of various types of neoplasm. In this study, we investigated possible mutations in the genes for components of this pathway, namely, CTNNB1 (the gene for beta-catenin), AXIN1, and APC, in...
