GENETIC AND EPIGENETIC ALTERATIONS IN COLON CANCER

Grady, William M., Markowitz, Sanford D.·2002·Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics

Abstract

Colorectal cancer affected approximately 135,000 people in the United States in 2001, resulting in 57,000 deaths. Colorectal cancer develops as the result of the progressive accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations that lead to the transformation of normal colonic epithelium to colon adenocarcinoma. The loss of genomic stability is a key molecular and pathophysiologic step in this process and serves to create a permissive environment for the occurrence of alterations in tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. Alterations in these genes, which include APC, CTNNB1, K-RAS, MADH4/SMAD4, and TGFBR2, appear to promote colon tumorigenesis by perturbing the function of signaling pathways, such as the TGF-ß signaling pathway, or by affecting genes that regulate genomic stability, such as the mutation mismatch repair genes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
