Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability (MSI) is caused mainly by dysfunction of hMLH1, where aberrant hypermethylation (HM) of its promoter region is involved. Previously, we suggested that HM in the proximal region of the hMLH1 promoter plays a critical role in progression of gastric cancer with MSI and this specific region should be analyzed for diagnostic use of hMLH1 HM. We expanded the analyses of hMLH1 HM and MSI...
