Abstract excerpt
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is known to be involved in cancer pathogenesis. The aim of our study was to find whether mTOR-related genes were mutated and expressionally altered in colorectal cancers (CRCs). Through public database searching, we found that PIK3CB, insulin receptor substrate 1/2 (IRS1), RPS6, EIF4B, RPS6KA5, and PRKAA2 that were known as mTOR-related genes possessed mononucleotide...
