Abstract excerpt
AIM: To examine Kruppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) mutations in nonpolypoid-type tumors and alterations of K-ras, p53, and B-raf in relation between mutation and morphologic type, particularly nonpolypoid-type colorectal carcinomas. METHODS: Fifty-five early nonpolypoid colorectal carcinomas were analyzed. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of KLF6 and p53 was determined by microsatellite assay. Mutations of KLF6, K-ras, and...
