The present invention relates to a .beta.-catenin oligonucleotide
microchip for detecting mutation in the mutational hot spot regions of
.beta.-catenin gene, a manufacturing process thereof and a method for
detecting the .beta.-catenin mutation employing same, wherein specific
oligonucleotides are selectively designed to detect various missense
mutations and in-frame deletion at the mutational hot spots of
.beta.-catenin gene. The .beta.-catenin oligo chip of the present
invention can be used in studies to detect .beta.-catenin mutations and
unravel the signal transduction mechanism and tumorigenesis related to
.beta.-catenin gene.
