Frameshift mutations at coding mononucleotide repeat microsatellites in endometrial carcinoma with microsatellite instability
15 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Microsatellite instability (MI) is a frequent occurrence in endometrioid carcinoma of the endometrium (EC). Several genes known to contain mononucleotide short tracts in their coding sequences (TGF-beta RII, IGFIIR, BAX, hMSH6, and hMSH3) are likely targets for mutations in these tumors. METHODS: DNA from 24 patients with EC and MI was extracted from blood and from fresh-frozen and paraffin embedded...
