The cell-cell adhesion receptor gene E-cadherin (CDH1) is expressed by epithelial cells, in which it mediates adhesion and morphogenesis. Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) characteristically infiltrates diffusely as single cells; by immunohistochemistry, many of these tumours lack E-cadherin expressi
## Abstract Because of the relatively low incidence of lobular breast carcinoma, there are very few studies on the molecular characteristics of this breast cancer. In an attempt to improve its characterization, we investigated in a large collection of invasive lobular carcinomas (ILCs) the status o
## Loss of expression of the intercellular adhesion molecule E-cadherin frequently occurs in invasive lobular breast carcinomas as a result of mutational inactivation. Expression patterns of E-cadherin and the molecules comprising the cytoplasmic complex of adherens junctions, -, -and -catenin, we
