Abstract excerpt
Defects in genes associated with DNA mismatch repair (MMR) have been linked to hereditary colon cancer. Because the MMR pathway includes multiple factors with both overlapping and divergent functions, we sought to compare the impact of deficiencies in each of several MMR genes on genetic instability using a collection of knock-out mouse models. We investigated mutation frequencies and patterns in MMR-deficient...
