APC and chromosome instability in colorectal cancer

Colon cancer is a common disease that can be sporadic or familial. An inactivated adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) suppressor gene is found in over 80% of colorectal tumors, this being an early alteration in the development of adenomatous polyps. APC function is not only critical for tumor initiatio...
