Abstract excerpt
Mismatch repair deficiency results in the elevation of mutation rates in tumors, which is especially pronounced in simple repeat sequences (microsatellites). We have investigated the relationship between microsatellite mutagenesis and certain combinations of mutations in mismatch repair genes, using a frameshift reversion assay to determine the spontaneous mutation rates of a dinucleotide microsatellite in two...
