Abstract excerpt
Recently, a novel form of MSI has been described that occurs only at tetranucleotide repeat markers. This has been termed elevated microsatellite instability at selected tetranucleotide repeats (EMAST). EMAST has been related to alterations of the p53 gene, and to the nature of the repeat sequence. We initially tested whether loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the p53 and the patched (ptch) genes was related to...
