Abstract excerpt
A subset of upper urinary tract urothelial cell carcinomas (UUC), arising sporadically or as a manifestation of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, displays microsatellite instability (MSI). MSI tumours are characterized by defective mismatch repair and accumulation of frameshift mutations in numerous genes harbouring repeats in their coding sequences. We have evaluated the incidence of MSI in UUC and the...
