Abstract excerpt
To determine the relationship between the mutation of the PTEN gene and genomic instability in human colorectal cancer, we screened the PTEN gene in 32 colorectal cancers (eight cell lines and 24 tissues) displaying microsatellite instability (MSI) and 32 colorectal cancers (six cell lines and 26 tissues) displaying microsatellite stability (MSS). Of 64 samples, six frameshift mutations were identified in six MSI...
