Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that mutational inactivation of transforming growth factor beta type II receptors (RIIs) is very common among the 13% of human colon cancers with microsatellite instability. These mutations principally cluster in the BAT-RII polyadenine sequence repeat. Among microsatel...
