In conclusion, PTEN contributes in maintaining normal cell homeostasis, and the numerous alterations found in several sporadic tumor types emphasize the significance of this tumor suppressor gene. Somatic PTEN mutations appear to play an important role in the development of a subgroup of sporadic co
## Communicated by Albert de la Chapelle PTEN regulates cell homeostasis by inhibiting growth signals transduced through PI3kinases. The gene is mutated in several cancer types, but so far, only a limited number of mutations have been reported in colorectal cancer. In the present study, direct seq
