Abstract excerpt
Defective DNA mismatch repair creates a strong mutator phenotype, recognized as microsatellite instability (MSI). Various next-generation sequencing-based methods for evaluating cancer MSI status have been established, and NGS-based studies have thoroughly described MSI-driven tumorigenesis. Accordingly, high-frequency MSI (MSI-H) has been detected in 81 tumor types, including those in which MSI was previously...
