Characterization of genomic instability in ulcerative colitis neoplasia leads to discovery of putative tumor suppressor regions.

Abstract excerpt

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory disease of the colon that is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer associated with genomic instability. We have previously demonstrated that genomic instability is present in UC patients with colonic neoplasia, and hypothesized that the chromosomal alterations may be taking place in regions that are susceptible to mutation or that provide a growth advantage...
