Abstract excerpt
To investigate genetic features in small and flat colorectal carcinomas that arise de novo, we searched for genetic alterations in six sporadic tumors by examining their APC, K-ras, and p53 genes. Two of the six tumors carried detectable mutations within the mutation cluster region (MCR) of the APC gene; both mutations were predicted to cause truncation of the gene product. Four tumors carried mutations of the...
