Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability (MSI) at simple repeated sequences characterises a distinct mechanism of carcinogenesis in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), as well as sporadic colorectal cancers displaying MSI. Such MSI is associated with mutations of hMSH2 and hMLH1, and somatic frameshift mutations in TGF-beta RII, IGFIIR, BAX, hMSH3 and hMSH6 at simple repeated sequences in coding regions. The aim...
