β‐Catenin in desmoid‐type fibromatosis: deep insights into the role of T41A and S45F mutations on protein structure and gene expression

Abstract excerpt

Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) is a rare mesenchymal lesion with high risk of local recurrence. Specific β-catenin mutations (S45F) appeared to be related to this higher risk compared to T41A-mutated or wild-type (WT). We explored the influence of both mutations and WT on structure stability and affinity of β-catenin for α-catenin and the pattern of gene expression that may influence DF behavior. Using 33...
