Mutations in the k-ras and TP53 genes, as well as microsatellite instability (MIN), are frequent genetic alterations in colorectal carcinomas and represent 3 different mechanisms in the carcinogenic process. Both the incidence of colorectal cancer and the frequency of genetic alterations in such tum
## Abstract It is unclear whether the mutation spectra in WNT genes vary among distinct types of colorectal tumors. We have analyzed mutations in specific WNT genes in a cohort of 52 colorectal tumors and performed a metaβanalysis of previous studies. Notably, significant differences were found amo
