What mechanisms explain how β-catenin mutations can be both oncogenic and tumor suppressive in cancer?

OPEN

The abstract reports both gain-of-function and loss-of-function CTNNB1 mutations are detected in human cancers, presenting a paradox. Understanding this dual role is critical for developing targeted therapies and predicting treatment responses in β-catenin-driven diseases.
