Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the transforming growth factor beta type II receptor (TGFbetaRII), Smad2, and Smad4 genes have been detected in several human cancers. However, there are no reports of mutation analysis of the entire coding regions in these genes in hepatocellular carcinoma, and the roles of these genes in hepatocarcinogenesis remain unknown. We screened 30 hepatocellular carcinomas for mutations of these genes using...
