Differential Features of Microsatellite-Unstable Colorectal Carcinomas Depending on EPCAM Expression Status
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have revealed that a small subset of Lynch syndrome-associated colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) is caused by a germline EPCAM deletion-induced MSH2 epimutation. Based on the finding of this genetic alteration, we investigated the implications of EPCAM expression changes in microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) CRCs. METHODS: Expression of EPCAM and DNA mismatch repair proteins was...
