In order to assess the role of the changes of DCC and APC/MCC genes in the development and progression of gastric cancer, the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of these genetic loci was investigated in 45 surgical specimens of gastric cancer with PCR-RFLP. The rate of LOH was 30.0% (9/30) at APC/MCC gene and 33.3% (15/45) at DCC gene. LOH was found in both intestinal and gastric types of gastric cancer and the rate of LOH of DCC gene was significantly higher in stages III to approximately IV gastric cancer (48.0%) than in stages I to approximately II (15.0%) (P<0.05). LOH of APC/MCC gene could be found in both early and advanced stages of gastric cancer. These findings suggest that changes of DCC and APC/MCC genes are involved in the development and progression of the intestinal and gastric types of gastric cancer.

D016163 Genes, DCC Tumor suppressor genes located in the 18q21-qter region of human chromosome 18. The absence of these genes is associated with the formation of colorectal cancer (DCC stands for deleted in colorectal cancer). The products of these genes show significant homology to neural cell adhesion molecules and other related cell surface glycoproteins. DCC Gene,DCC Genes,Gene, DCC

D017491 Genes, APC Tumor suppressor genes located in the 5q21 region on the long arm of human chromosome 5. The mutation of these genes is associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS COLI) and GARDNER SYNDROME, as well as some sporadic colorectal cancers.
