Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Microsatellite instability (replication error [RER]) is a characteristic of tumors in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC), but the mechanism of HNPCC carcinogenesis is not yet understood. To clarify the nature of HNPCC tumors, RER and genetic changes were compared between HNPCC and non-HNPCC tumors. METHODS: RER and genetic changes were analyzed in 21 HNPCC, 389 familial adenomatous...
