Scope note: Genes supresores de tumores localizados en la región18q21-qter del cromosoma 18 humano. La ausencia de estos genes se asocia a cáncer colorrectal (DCC significa “eliminado en el cáncer colorrectal”). Los productos de estos genes muestran significativa homología con las moléculas de adhesión neural y otras glicoproteínas de superficie relacionadas.

Scope note: 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.
