Inflammation-associated microsatellite alterations: Mechanisms and significance in the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer
12 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite alterations within genomic DNA frameshift as a result of defective DNA mismatch repair (MMR). About 15% of sporadic colorectal cancers (CRCs) manifest hypermethylation of the DNA MMR gene MLH1 , resulting in mono-and di-nucleotide frameshifts to classify it as microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and hypermutated, and due to frameshifts at coding microsatellites generating neo-antigens, produce...
