Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Families with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) have an increased lifetime risk of endometrial (40%) and ovarian (10%) carcinomas. Endometrial and ovarian carcinomas from members of these families frequently display a mutator phenotype as manifest by high levels of microsatellite instability (MSI-H). Microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs in 17-32% of sporadic endometrial carcinomas and...
