Abstract excerpt
Oncogenic activation of the Wnt signaling pathway is common in cancers, but mutation of beta-catenin in ovarian cancer is rare. In addition to genetic events, epigenetic modification of secreted frizzled-related protein (SFRP) family has been shown to be important in regulating Wnt signaling. Although high degree of homology is observed in the same family, different SFRPs may have opposing effects on the same...
