Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To clarify the role of the KLF6 (Kruppel-like factor 6) locus in multistep colorectal carcinogenesis, we analyzed loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 10p15 (KLF6 locus) and mutations of the KLF6gene in 298 colorectal tumors at various pathological stages of sporadic and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) patients. METHODS: 10p15 LOH was analyzed...
