Abstract excerpt
Colon cancer and an increasing number of other cancers have been found to exhibit instability of DNA microsatellite sequences. Such tumors have been designated as replication errors (RER) tumors. However, as microsatellites are only rarely found within coding regions of the genome, instability of these sequences cannot directly contribute to carcinogenesis. Recently, we have shown RER colon cancers also...
