Abstract excerpt
Juvenile angiofibromas (JAs) are benign fibro-vascular tumors occurring nearly exclusively in adolescent males. Even less is known about this rare tumor entity, alterations affecting the Wnt-pathway seem to play a pivotal role in tumor biology as activating CTNNB1 mutations have been detected. However, the knowledge of Wnt-pathway changes is still limited. Therefore, we aimed to determine in JAs further insight...
