Owing to the clear association between high B4GALNT2 and better prognosis, the impact of B4GALNT2 expression on the malignant phenotype of a colon cancer cell line was studied using, as a model, LS174T cells transfected with the short form of B4GALNT2 or mock-transfected [8]. The gene discussed is B4GALNT2; the disease is colonic neoplasm.
