Molecular characteristics of differentiated-type gastric carcinoma with distinct mucin phenotype: LI-cadherin is associated with intestinal phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Gastric carcinomas (GC) are classified into four phenotypes on the basis of the mucin expression profile: G type (gastric or foveolar phenotype), I type (intestinal phenotype), GI type (intestinal and gastric mixed phenotype) and N type (neither gastric nor intestinal phenotype).
