Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The murine nm23 gene suppresses the metastatic behavior of malignant rodent tumor lines, and reduced nm23 expression correlates with increased likelihood of lymph node metastases in human breast cancers. More recent data have demonstrated the existence of two human nm23 gene homologues, nm23-H1 and nm23-H2, and have shown that deletion of nm23-H1 alleles occurs in some colon carcinomas associated with...
