CASPASE-8 gene is inactivated by somatic mutations in gastric carcinomas.

Abstract excerpt

Several lines of evidence indicate that deregulation of apoptosis is involved in the mechanisms of cancer development. Caspase-8 activation plays a central role in the initiation phase of apoptosis. The aim of this study was to explore the possibility that genetic alteration of CASPASE-8 gene is involved in the development of human cancers, including gastric cancers. We have analyzed the entire coding region of...
