Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: mutS homolog 2 (MSH2) deficiency may be involved in the development of microsatellite instability found in certain sporadic colorectal tumors. In addition to mutations or loss of heterozygosity resulting in complete loss of MSH2 function, polymorphisms affecting MSH2 expression have been also identified. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine MSH2 status in sporadic colon cancer. MATERIALS...
