Abstract excerpt
We hypothesize that loss of imprinting (LOI) of the insulin-like growth factor II (IGF2) gene is associated with a predisposition to sporadic colorectal cancer. We confirmed a previously known strong correlation between LOI and microsatellite instability and showed that LOI was not a consequence of microsatellite instability or mismatch repair deficiency. LOI of IGF2 correlated strongly with biallelic...
