RUNX3 Inactivation in Colorectal Polyps Arising Through Different Pathways of Colonic Carcinogenesis
27 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that RUNX3 inactivation by promoter hypermethylation in colorectal polyps is an early molecular event in colorectal carcinogenesis. METHODS: RUNX3 protein expression was analyzed immunohistochemically in 50 sporadic colorectal polyps comprising 19 hyperplastic polyps (HPs), 14 traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs), and 17 sporadic traditional adenomas (sTAs) as well as in 19 familial...
