Distinct Gene Expression Signatures in Lynch Syndrome and Familial Colorectal Cancer Type X
12 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Heredity is estimated to cause at least 20% of colorectal cancer. The hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer subset is divided into Lynch syndrome and familial colorectal cancer type X (FCCTX) based on presence of mismatch repair (MMR) gene defects. PURPOSE: We addressed the gene expression signatures in colorectal cancer linked to Lynch syndrome and FCCTX with the aim to identify candidate genes...
