Journal ArticleDOI

Somatic frameshift mutations in the BAX gene in colon cancers of the microsatellite mutator phenotype.

TL;DR: The results suggest that inactivating BAX mutations are selected for during the progression of colorectal MMP+ tumors and that the wild-type BAX gene plays a suppressor role in a p53-independent pathway for coloreCTal carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (matrilysin) in human cancer invasion, apoptosis, growth, and angiogenesis.

TL;DR: It is proposed that these matrilysin-mediated pathways provide the necessary and logical mechanisms to promote cancer progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carcinogenesis and microsatellite instability: the interrelationship between genetics and epigenetics.

TL;DR: DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency results in a strong mutator phenotype and high-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H), which are the hallmarks of tumors arising within Lynch syndrome, and the diagnosis of MSI-H in cancers is considered to be of increasing relevance.
Journal ArticleDOI

A DNA methylation fingerprint of 1628 human samples

TL;DR: The DNA methylation patterns identified across the largest spectrum of samples, tissues, and diseases reported to date constitute a baseline for developing higher-resolutionDNA methylation maps and provide important clues concerning the contribution of CpG methylation to tissue identity and its changes in the most prevalent human diseases.
