Abstract excerpt

Microsatellite instability in tumours has been suggested as a model to study the process of short tandem repeat (STR) mutations. In the present study we have determined the allelic variation of four X-STRs (DXS7423, DXS8377, DXS101 and ARA) in a Finnish population of 103 individuals, and assessed whether a comparable allelic distribution could be found in a series of gastrointestinal cancers differing by the...
