Hepatoblastoma (HBL), a major childhood malignant neoplasm, represents the most frequent malignant liver tumor in childhood. Recent reports have shown the CTNNB1 coding beta-catenin protein to be frequently mutated or deleted at hot-spot regions involving exon 3 in HBL. We investigated the genetic alterations of the CTNNB1 coding beta-catenin protein and expression of several genes downstream of Wnt signals in 4...
