Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activation is frequent event in the development of neoplasms. In this study, the authors defined an immunohistochemical approach to dissect CTNNB1 (β-catenin) mutations in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded primary neoplasms. They validated an immunohistochemical mutation detection algorithm in colon adenomas, carcinomas and various non-colonic Wnt pathway activated tumors.
