Journal ArticleDOI

MSH2 deficient mice are viable and susceptible to lymphoid tumours.

TL;DR: A direct link between MSH2 deficiency and the pathogenesis of cancer is established and these mutant mice should be good models to study the progression of tumours and also to screen carcinogenic and anti–cancer agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in Attenuated Adenomatous Polyposis Coli

TL;DR: The data suggest that, in AAPC families, the location of the APC mutation may partially predict specific phenotypic expression, which should help in the design of tailored clinical-management protocols in this subset of FAP patients.
Journal Article

Somatic APC and K-ras codon 12 mutations in aberrant crypt foci from human colons.

TL;DR: The results of this study demonstrate that both APC and K-ras mutations occur in ACF, and support the role of the ACF as a colorectal cancer precursor and provide further insight into the early genetic changes which occur during coloreCTal tumorigenesis.
Journal Article

MSH2 Deficiency Contributes to Accelerated APC-mediated Intestinal Tumorigenesis

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the important role of MMR genes in accelerated intestinal tumorigenesis, thus supporting more aggressive surveillance strategies to prevent colorectal cancer in hereditary nonpolyposis coloreCTal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Familial adenomatous polyposis-associated thyroid cancer: a clinical, pathological, and molecular genetics study

TL;DR: The data suggest that genetic alterations in FAP-associated thyroid cancer involve loss of function of APC along with the gain offunction of ret/PTC, while alterations of p53 do not appear to be an early event in thyroid tumorigenesis.
