LOH 17p/TP53 and LOH 18q/DCC have been related to prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinomas. Since MSI-H tumors have a minor rate of TP53 mutations and rarely present allelic deletions, we intended to study these molecular features in a series of 197 […]

Two different patterns have been described for colorectal tumorigenesis. The main one -affecting 85% of sporadic tumors- is based on the familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) model, a multistep process that involves at least APC, K-RASDCC andTP53 genes. […]
