Microsatellite instability in human colonic cancer is not a useful clinical indicator of familial colorectal cancer.

Gastroenterology - 1 Dec 1995

Samowitz W S, Slattery M L, Kerber R A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Microsatellite instability is a property of most tumors occurring in the context of hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer. Instability also occurs in 10%-15% of apparently sporadic colorectal cancers, and it has been hypothesized that this instability may indicate a genetic predisposition to colonic cancer. This study evaluated whether there is a clinically useful association between colon...
