SMAD4 genetic alterations predict a worse prognosis in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Secreted apoptosis-related protein (SARP) families are considered to counteract the oncogenic Wnt signaling pathway, and inactivation of this gene may aid cancer development and progression. Recently, the aberrant methylation of SARP2 was detected frequently in pancreatic carcinoma (PCa) tissue, but not in no...
