Abstract excerpt
A previous study has reported a high frequency of rare alleles of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) in a set of 15 colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines. Our study investigated uPAR gene variation in 92 CRC patients and in tumour DNA from a subset of 69 patients using the PLAU...
