Alterations in β-catenin, microsatellite instability, and HNF-1β levels are independently associated with ovarian endometriosis–associated tumorigenesis
Human pathology ·doi:10.1016/j.humpath.2019.04.001

We focused on specific molecular events during the development of endometriosis-associated ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEmCa) and ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCCa). Alterations in β-catenin (encoded by CTNNB1) and microsatellite inst…
