  CTNNB1, cadherin-associated protein, beta-catenin PO WP
  Definition: Protein encoded by CTNNB1 gene, coordinates cell–cell adhesion and gene transcription.
  Function
  Part of Wnt signalling pathway, highly conserved pathway with critical role in embryologic development (Dev Cell 2009;17:9), carcinogenesis and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.
  Upon Wnt activation, β-catenin is translocated from membrane (where it interacts with E-cadherin) to cytoplasm and nucleus, where it (...)

  Pathology
  mutations in thyroid carcinomas
  The EIF1AX gene mutations have been recently found in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC).
  EIF1AX mutations occur not only in thyroid carcinomas, but also in benign nodules.
  The most common mutation hotspot is the A113_splice, followed by a cluster of mutations in exon 2.
  When found in thyroid FNA samples, EIF1AX mutations confer 20% risk of cancer; the risk is likely to be higher in nodules carrying a (...)

  mismatch repair gene
  MLH is homologous to the E. coli MutL gene and is involved in DNA mismatch repair. Mutations in the MLH1 gene result in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer-2 (HNPCC2) (MIM.609310).
  Pathology
  Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome caused by inherited germ line mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes, predominantly MSH2 and MLH1.

  WKP
  Definition: Discoidin domain receptor family, member 2, also known as DDR2 or CD167b (cluster of differentiation 167b), is a human gene coding for a receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK).
  This gene encodes a member of a novel subclass of RTKs and contains a distinct extracellular region encompassing a factor VIII-like domain.
  Alternative splicing in the 5’ UTR results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.
