Abstract excerpt
Mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes in hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) patients revealed the importance of MMR deficiency as a risk for carcinogenesis. Since diverse mutations occur in several MMR genes, the instability of repeat sequences dispersed in the genome, which are also governed by the MMR system, is a well used marker. However, the relationship between repeat sequence instability...
