Abstract excerpt
Mounting evidence indicates that deregulation of apoptosis is involved in the mechanisms of cancer development. Caspase-9 plays a crucial role in the initiation phase of the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. To explore the possibility that the genetic alterations of caspase-9 might be involved in the development of human cancers, we analyzed the entire coding region and all splice sites of the human caspase-9 gene for...
