Abstract excerpt
We investigated the spectrum and genetic basis for mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by examining expression of four MMR genes important for hereditary and sporadic carcinogenesis. MMR deficiency was assessed using microsatellite instability (MSI) and genetic analyses of 25 cell lines derived from renal tumors. MMR gene alterations were detected using reverse transcription of RNA...
