ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides diagnostic/prognostic screening methods for identifying alternations in the sequence of a km23 nucleic acid or polypeptide form. Furthermore, the invention relates to mutations in the km23 gene in human cancers and their use in the diagnosis and prognosis of human cancer. Specific mutations in the km23 gene associated with ovarian cancers have been identified. The invention also provides human km23 polypetides, fragments and mutants thereof, oligonucleotides and primers directed to km23 nucleic acid forms, expression vectors, host cells, antibodies, antagonists and their use for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases associated with the expression or activity of km23, or with defects in the signaling pathway for TGFβ superfamily members.
