Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Desmoid tumors are neoplastic proliferations of connective tissues. The mutation status of the gene coding for catenin (cadherin-associated protein) beta 1 (CTNNB1) and trisomy 8 on the chromosomal level have been described to have prognostic relevance. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In order to elucidate new molecular mechanisms underlying these tumors, we carried out a molecular analysis with a genome-wide...
