Different types of microsatellite instability in ovarian carcinoma
29 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability at mono- and dinucleotide repeats is the hallmark of the hereditary non-polyposis cancer syndrome (HNPCC) and is related to deficient DNA mismatch repair. In contrast, a distinct form of microsatellite instability at selective tetranucleotide repeats (EMAST or elevated microsatellite alterations at selected tetranucleotides) was described in several non-HNPCC cancer types. EMAST is...
