Abstract excerpt
Wnt signaling pathway activation via mutation of genetic components, commonly adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), has a major role in colorectal cancer (CRC). Most components have not been assessed for mutation in sporadic CRC. We have analyzed AXIN2, CK1alpha, DKK1, GSK-3beta, SOX17, LRP6 and PPP2R1B, beta-catenin and APC in a collection of sporadic CRCs (n = 47) and CRC cell lines (CLs; n = 26). The CRC set was...
