Orderable Test Description
<p>Beta-catenin is an important regulator of cell-cell adhesion and embryogenesis. Mutations of beta-catenin could lead to some human cancers. Normal cells show membrane staining for beta-catenin, while cytoplasmic and/or nuclear staining is abnormal. Dysregulation of beta-catenin occurs in Gardner syndrome, where it leads to both familial adenomatous polyposis and fibromatosis. Nuclear location of beta-catenin also occurs in colon and endometrioid ovarian carcinomas as well as in synovial sarcoma, osteosarcoma, liposarcoma, palisaded myofibroblastoma, and other sarcomas.</p>
