Abstract excerpt
Defective mismatch repair leads to the microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype of colorectal cancer (CRC). We previously showed that the MLH1-93G>A promoter polymorphism is strongly associated with MSI tumours, suggesting a modifier role for this polymorphism in CRC. The MLH1 promoter is bi-directional with the EPM2AIP1 gene located on the antisense strand. In order to evaluate the functional effects of this...
