[Current data on the role of APC protein in the origin of colorectal cancer].

Abstract excerpt

The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene has been found to be mutated during the development of sporadic colorectal cancers as well as in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). These conditions result from initially somatic and germ line mutations respectively. In both cases, the expressed protein is truncated at its carboxyterminal region. Investigations into the role of wild-type APC have led to a better...
