摘要:
Many disorders, especially neoplastic disorders such as cancer and polyps, are the result of hyperproliferative cells or of cells with differentiation disorders. For these types of disorders early detection is of pivotal importance and reliable and early biomarkers for common types of cancers such as colorectal cancer are still not available. Thus, there is a need for new markers and for methods for identifying such new markers. The invention provides peptides and proteins and derivatives thereof originating from transcription intermediary factor-1 beta (TIF1-beta) suitable as markers and therapeutics for disorders such as cancer, preferably colorectal cancerous or related disorders such as polyps.
