Abstract excerpt
A new mutator mechanism for tumorigenesis, characterized by somatic genomic instability (SGI) at simple repeated sequences (SRS) or microsatellites, underlies hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) and some sporadic tumors of the colon and other types. To determine whether the microsatellite mutator phenotype (MMP) is dominant or recessive, we generate somatic cell hybrids between a tumor cell line...
