Abstract excerpt
AIMS: RNF43 is a tumour suppressor gene that suppresses the Wnt-β-catenin signalling pathway. We investigated the role of RNF43 in intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB). METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted mutation analysis of RNF43 in 50 IPNBs, and identified six (12%) RNF43 mutations. RNF43 mutation was more frequent in the intestinal subtype of IPNB (17%) than in the gastric/pancreatobiliary...
