An increased incidence of colorectal cancer has been observed in breast and breast-ovarian cancer syndrome families, including those of Ashkenazi origin. Recently, a germ-line missense mutation in the APC gene, I1307K, was identified that may indirectly cause colorectal cancer in Ashkenazi Jews. To determine whether the excess of colon cancer in some breast-ovarian cancer families is related to...

Fra-1 (Fos-related antigen-1) is a member of the AP-1 (activator protein-1) family of transcription factors. We previously showed that Fra-1 is necessary for breast cancer cells to metastasize in vivo, and that a classifier comprising genes that are expressed in a Fra-1-dependent fashion can predict breast cancer outcome. Here, we show that Fra-1 plays an important role also in colon cancer pro...
