Abstract excerpt
Colorectal carcinomas are characterized by multiple genetic aberrations that occur during tumorigenesis. Several tumor suppressor genes associated with colorectal carcinoma have been identified: MCC, APC, p53, nm23-H1, DCC, DPC4. We examined 73 cases of sporadic human colon cancer and corresponding normal tissue samples to evaluate the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the APC gene loci. The purpose of this study...
