Abstract excerpt
Sporadic gastric carcinomas (SGC) with microsatellite instability (MSI) exhibit mutations in target genes and display a particular clinicopathological profile. In SGC the MSI phenotype has been associated with hMLH1 promoter hypermethylation. Fifty-seven SGC, classified as high-frequency MSI (MSI-H), low-frequency MSI (MSI-L), and microsatellite stable (MSS), were analyzed for hMLH1 promoter methylation status...
