Abstract excerpt
Mismatch repair (MMR) genes, such as Msh2, are classified as "mutator" genes, responsible for the microsatellite instability identified in many tumors. In the current study, the mutation frequency and mutational spectrum in thymic lymphoma arising in Msh2 deficient mice are investigated. Thymic lymphoma developed in Msh2-/- background displayed an eight to nine-fold increase in mutation frequency compared to the...
