Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: EpCAM is overexpressed in many neoplasms including ovarian cancer. We screened the EpCAM-coding gene TACSTD1 for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which could alter ovarian cancer risk, impact upon disease progression, or alter binding of the therapeutic EpCAM-binding antibody, catumaxomab. METHODS: DNA fragments of 10 healthy volunteers were analyzed to identify SNPs. Subsequently, DNA of ovarian...
