A ten markers panel provides a more accurate and complete microsatellite instability analysis in mismatch repair-deficient colorectal tumors
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Tumour microsatellite instability (MSI) is useful in identifying patients with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) with defective DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. A reference Bethesda panel has limitations resulting from the inclusion of dinucleotide markers, which are less sensitive and specific for detection of tumours with MMR deficiencies. We developed a multiplex PCR assay with...
