Abstract excerpt
The MUC1 gene codes for protein products that are highly expressed in human breast-cancer tissue and that serve as tumor markers for disease progression. The factors contributing to the disease-specific over-expression of the MUC1 gene are under intensive investigation and are yet to be determine...
