MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH synonym : dcc gene; dcc genes; gene, dcc;
CISMeF synonym : dcc;
MeSH annotation : DCC stands for Deleted in Colorectal Cancer;
