Abstract excerpt
Aberrant Wnt/beta-catenin signaling leading to nuclear accumulation of the oncogene product beta-catenin is observed in a wide spectrum of human malignancies. The destruction complex in the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway is critical for regulating the level of beta-catenin in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. Here, we report a comprehensive study of the contribution of genetic variation in six genes encoding the...
