Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, but its pathogenesis is still unclear. Microsatellite instability (MSI) has been identified in breast cancer cells, suggesting an association with mismatch repair defects. To test this hypothesis, we investigated MSI, protein expression of hMSH2 and hMLH1, as well as genetic and epigenetic modifications of these two genes in 32 sporadic breast tumors. MSI was...
