Abstract excerpt
We explored APC gene mutations and chromosome 5q21 allelic losses (5qLOH) in 18 neoplasms of the papilla of Vater, including 6 early-stage tumours (3 adenomas, 3 carcinomas) and 12 advanced-stage cancers. Eleven PCR-amplified polymorphic sequences were used to analyse 5qLOH. APC mutations were in...
