Abstract excerpt
Escape from negative growth regulation by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) as a result of the loss of TGF-beta type II receptor (RII) expression has been found to be associated with the replication error (RER) colorectal cancer genotype, which is characteristic of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancers. The RER-positive HCT 116 colon carcinoma cell line was examined for RII mutations. A 1-base...
