Abstract excerpt
Loss of function mutations of the Hedgehog receptor PTCH1 are oncogenic drivers in some skin and brain cancers. We recently reported mutations in exons encoding the C-terminal tail of PTCH1 in colon cancer, which result in premature truncation but do not impair canonical Hedgehog signalling. In this study, we show that colon cancer cells engineered by CRISPR/Cas9 to express endogenous truncated PTCH1 have...
