Abstract excerpt
A mutator phenotype due to a DNA mismatch repair deficiency is usually detected by typing a number of microsatellite markets. Here, eight hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer patients with microsatellite instability were investigated by inter-Alu PCR, known to amplify DNA segments that may represent preferential targets of replication errors. Among 40-60 bands revealed in a single PCR experiment, more than 20%...
