Identification of Genetic Alterations of<i>AXIN2</i>Gene in Adrenocortical Tumors
7 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations of the β-catenin gene (CTNNB1), which lead to constitutive activation of Wnt signaling, have recently been described in adrenocortical adenomas (AA) and carcinomas (ACC). However, somatic CTNNB1 mutations may explain only about 50% of β-catenin accumulation observed in adrenocortical tumors, indicating that other components of the Wnt pathway may be involved. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the...
