Molecular mechanism underlying the increased risk of colorectal cancer metastasis caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms in LI-cadherin gene
2022-10-03
Abstract excerpt
LI-cadherin is a member of the cadherin superfamily. LI-cadherin mediates Ca 2+ -dependent cell-cell adhesion by forming a homodimer. A previous study reported two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LI-cadherin-coding gene ( CDH17 ). These SNPs correspond to the amino acid changes of Lys115 to Glu and Glu739 to Ala. Patients with colorectal cancer carrying these SNPs are reported to have a higher risk...
