Abstract excerpt
TGF-beta signaling is frequently perturbed in many human cancers, including renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) and transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs) of the bladder. Genetic alterations of the TGF-beta type 1 receptor (TGFBR1) may contribute to these perturbations. We therefore examined variations in the TGFBR1 gene by PCR, SSCP and RFLP in carcinomas of the urinary system and in tissues from noncancer, age-matched...
