Abstract excerpt
Every colorectal cancer (CRC) patient should be tested for microsatellite instability (MSI) to screen for Lynch syndrome. Evaluation of MSI status involves screening tumor DNA for the presence of somatic deletions in DNA repeats using PCR followed by fragment analysis. While this method may lack sensitivity due to the presence of a high level of germline DNA, which frequently contaminates the core of primary...
