Abstract excerpt
A number of human genes containing coding mononucleotide repeat sequences are particularly prone to mutations in tumors with defects in mismatch repair (MMR) genes (MSI-H cancers). In a large series of MSI-H colorectal tumors, we looked for mutations in 25 coding repeats contained in eight genes already known to be mutated in these cancers or in 17 other genes with an expected role in carcinogenesis. Mutations...
