You will be shown an abstract from a biomedical research paper. Given this abstract, your task is to extract all unique entities of the following types: ["AnatomicalEntity"].

Please return the output as a JSON object of the format: {"AnatomicalEntity": ["tumor cells", ...]}. The keys should be entity types and values should be lists of extracted entities belonging to the corresponding type. If you cannot find entities belonging to a specific type, the value should be [].

Only output the JSON object and do not include any additional text.

Abstract:

Analysis of molecular aberrations of Wnt pathway gladiators in colorectal cancer in the Kashmiri population. 
The development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) is a multi-step process, and the Wnt pathways with its two molecular gladiators adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and beta-catenin plays an important role in transforming a normal tissue into a malignant one. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of aberrations in the APC and beta-catenin genes in the pathogenesis of CRC in the Kashmir valley, and to correlate it with various clinicopathological variables. We examined the paired tumour and normal-tissue specimens of 86 CRC patients for the occurrence of aberrations in the mutation cluster region (MCR) of the APC gene and exon 3 of the beta-catenin gene by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and/or PCR-direct sequencing. Analysis of promoter hypermethylation of the APC gene was also carried out using methylation-specific PCR (MS-PCR). The overall mutation rate of the MCR of the APC gene among 86 CRC cases was 12.8 per cent (11 of 86). Promoter hypermethylation of APC was observed in 54.65 per cent (47 of 86) of cases. Furthermore, we found a significant association between tumour location, tumour grade and node status and the methylation status of the APC gene (p <= 0.05). Although the number of mutations in the APC and beta-catenin genes in our CRC cases was very low, the study confirms the role of epigenetic gene silencing of the pivotal molecular gladiator, APC, of the Wnt pathway in the development of CRC in the Kashmiri population.
