APC mutations in human colorectal adenomas: analysis of the mutation cluster region with temperature gradient gel electrophoresis and clinicopathological features.

Abstract excerpt

To date, the earliest mutations in colorectal adenomas have been found in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, considered the 'gatekeeper' in tumourigenesis. To study the types of APC gene mutations and their relation to clinicopathological features which are associated with malignant potential, the mutation cluster region of the APC gene was analysed in a series of 32 human sporadic colorectal adenomas...
