Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability (MSI) in human carcinoma DNA is a characteristic phenotype observed in hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer and also in some human sporadic cancers including multiple primary carcinomas. In this study, we analyzed mutations in the hCHK1, E2F4, hMSH3, and hMSH6 genes in MSI+ human cancers arising in colorectum, stomach and endometrium. The E2F4 and hMSH3 genes were mutated in all...
