Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that mutations of the oncogenes BRAF or KRAS are early events in the putative serrated polyp neoplasia pathway and more advanced pathology is associated with acquired mutator and suppressor gene inactivation by CpG island methylation of promoter regions. We assayed 79 sporadic hyperplastic polyps (HPs) classified according to the schema of Torlakovic et al and 25...
