Abstract excerpt
The germline transmission of a mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene leads to cancer of the gastro-intestinal tract upon somatic inactivation of the remaining allele in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients. APC mutations result in truncated products that have primarily lost the ability to properly regulate the level of the transcription factor β-catenin. However, colorectal cancer cells...
