Abstract excerpt
Mutation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene is frequently found in colorectal tumors from both familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and non-FAP patients. Analysis of APC mutation is time-consuming and costly due to the large size of the APC gene. As the majority of APC mutations result in the truncation of gene products, the detection of truncated APC proteins may be used as a screening method for APC...
