Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of the DCC (Deleted in Colon Carcinoma) tumor suppressor gene by allelic loss and/or reduced expression is associated with the development of colon cancer, gliomas, gastric and prostatic malignancies. In a total cohort of 51 testicular germ cell tumors (GCT) of different histologies we analyzed restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) for DCC at two specific DNA sites in 37 GCT and DCC mRNA...
