Promoter methylation of ITF2, but not APC, is associated with microsatellite instability in two populations of colorectal cancer patients
16 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aberrant Wnt signaling activation occurs commonly in colorectal carcinogenesis, leading to upregulation of many target genes. APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) is an important component of the β-catenin destruction complex, which regulates Wnt signaling, and is often mutated in colorectal cancer (CRC). In addition to mutational events, epigenetic changes arise frequently in CRC, specifically, promoter...
