Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the distribution of DNA microsatellite instability (MSI) in a series of hyperplastic polyps, serrated adenomas, and mixed polyps of the colorectum. METHODS: DNA was extracted from samples of 73 colorectal polyps comprising tubular adenomas (23), hyperplastic polyps (21), serrated adenomas (17), and mixed polyps (12). The presence of MSI was investigated at six loci: MYCL, D2S123, F13B, BAT-40,...
