Title:
GENES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003056036
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to mutations in B-Raf gene products. The mutations described are identified in human tumours of natural origin. These mutations are associated with cancerous phenotypes and can be used as a basis for the diagnosis of cancer, cancerous cells or a predisposition to cancer in human subjects, and the development of anti-cancer therapeutics.
