Abstract excerpt
The AXIN2 gene, a negative regulator gene of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, is a putative tumor suppressor gene on human chromosome 17q24. In the genomic locus on which the AXIN2 gene is located, allelic loss and rearrangement were frequently detected in many cancers. An association between human cancer risk and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at codon 50 of the AXIN2 gene, encoding either proline (CCT) or...
