Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system allows the genome to accumulate mutations because of failure to correct mispairing of nucleotides and slippage mistakes at microsatellite sequences (termed microsatellite instability ¿MSI¿). While most mutations are acquired in noncoding regions by virtue of its larger share of DNA, mutations may occur in exons of genes that contain microsatellite sequences....
