Microsatellite Instability and p53 Mutations Are Associated With Abnormal Expression of the MSH2 Gene in Adult Acute Leukemia
15 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability (MSI) and p53 mutations have been reported to occur in a significant proportion of patients with therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (AML). MSH2 is one of the genes involved in DNA mismatch repair to maintain fidelity of genomic replication, and defects of MSH2 are directly involved in MSI in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal tumors and other human tumors. We have examined the...
