Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: β-Catenin and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) are major components of the Wnt pathway. This study aimed to investigate the expression of β-catenin and APC in tumors and lymph nodes in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and the mutational spectrum of the genes coding these proteins. METHODS: Expression of APC and β-catenin was examined in 124 tumors and 41 lymph nodes. Exon 3 of CTNNB1 and the...
