Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Loss of sensitivity to transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signaling typically occurs in human ovarian cancer cells, but there is paucity of information regarding this in human ovarian tumors. Thus the association of inactivating mutations and/or variations in expression levels of TGF-beta signaling components with human ovarian tumors was evaluated. METHODS: Forty human ovarian tissue samples...
