Abstract excerpt
We analyzed somatic mutation and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11)/Peutz-Jeghers syndrome gene in 49 colorectal tumors in three different stages of a dysplasia-carcinoma sequence. We detected LOH in 10 of 19 (52.6%) informative colorectal cancers at loci D19S886 and/or D19S883, but no LOH was observed in 25 informative adenomas. We detected a total of 9 somatic mutations [7 of...
