Abstract
There is marked over-expression of multiple spliced variants of the CD44 gene in tumor compared to counterpart normal tissue. This observation forms the basis of a method of diagnosing neoplasia by analysis of a sample of body tissue or body fluid or waste product. A new exon 6 of 129 bp has been located and sequenced, and is claimed as such and for use in a diagnostic method.
