Abstract excerpt
Colorectal tumorigenesis is characterized by the sequential inactivation of a series of tumor suppressor genes (microsatellite-stable tumors) and genetic or epigenetic alterations in mismatch repair genes in nonpoliposic hereditary tumours and 13% to 15% of sporadic colorectal cancer [high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) tumors]. We hypothesized a molecular mechanism for MSI-H colorectal tumors related to...
