Abstract excerpt
Disruptions to the TGFbeta signalling pathway have been implicated in most human adenocarcinomas. As cancers progress, many acquire resistance to the growth-suppressing properties of TGFbeta while retaining sensitivity to its tumour-promoting effects. Microsatellite unstable colorectal cancers (MSI-H CRCs) possess truncating mutations in the type II TGFbeta receptor (TGFbetaRII) gene that have been assumed to...
