Abstract excerpt
LI-cadherin is a member of the cadherin superfamily. LI-cadherin mediates Ca2+-dependent cell-cell adhesion through homodimerization. A previous study reported two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LI-cadherin-coding gene (CDH17). These SNPs correspond to the amino acid changes of Lys115 to Glu and Glu739 to Ala. Patients with colorectal cancer carrying these SNPs are reported to have a higher risk of...
