METHOD OF SCREENING FOR CANCER BY DETECTING MUTATIONS IN THE DELTA-CATENIN GENE PROMOTER AND 5'-UNTRANSLATED REGION

摘要

A method for screening for risk of cancer in a subject is carried out by detecting the presence or absence of at least one mutation in the delta-catenin gene promoter or 5' untranslated region in a biological sample from said subject, the presence of such mutation or an increased frequency of mutation indicating said subject is afflicted with or at least at risk of developing cancer.
