Abstract excerpt
In childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia there are large interpatient variations in levels of the apoptosis-regulating proteins Bax and Bcl-2, but the molecular basis for this variation is unknown. Point-mutations in bax have been reported in cell lines derived from haematological malignancies. Frameshift mutations, which result in reduced Bax levels, have also been found in colon cancer of the microsatellite...
