Abstract excerpt
CTNNA1 codes α-1 catenin, a molecule that functions in intercellular adhesion in combination with E-cadherin (coded by CDH1). A germline pathogenic variant (GPV) of CTNNA1 increases the risk of hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC); however, this GPV has not been reported in Japan. A 35-year-o...
