ABSTRACT:
A new human gene termed DCC is disclosed. Methods and kits are provided for assessing mutations of the DCC gene in human tissues and body samples. Insertion, deletion, and point mutations in DCC are observed in human tumor cells. Normal tissues express DCC while most colorectal cancers do not. Loss of wild-type DCC genes is associated with neoplastic progression and a diminished life expectancy.
