Abstract excerpt
Somatically acquired mutations in several genes have been reported as playing an important role during colorectal tumorigenesis. Two alternative groups of carcinomas, termed LOH+ and RER+, have been defined on the basis of their genetic anomalies, a biallelic inactivation of the APC or the TGF-betaRII genes, occurring as an alternative, in LOH+ or RER+ tumors. It is a generally accepted hypothesis that most of...
