Abstract excerpt
Mismatch repair (MMR) process confers a type of genomic stability that maintains stable single repeated sequences, hence a failure of this process could deviate in cancer development. A characteristic phenotype of MMR-deficient cells is microsatellite instability (MSI) that could be modulated by mutagenic agents. The induction of MSI by the mutagens, bleomycin (BLM), hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)),...
