Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Approximately 20% of endometrial tumors have a defect in DNA mismatch repair and exhibit microsatellite instability (MSI). We assessed the role of the PMS2 DNA mismatch repair gene in MSI-positive sporadic endometrial tumors. METHODS: We examined 40 sporadic endometrial tumor specimens with MSI. All 15 exons of the PMS2 gene were investigated for sequence alterations by single-strand conformational...
