Abstract excerpt
This review focuses on the genomic instability underlying the microsatellite mutator phenotype (MMP) pathway for cancer. MMP was discovered by the application of DNA fingerprinting by Arbitrarily Primed PCR (AP-PCR) to the analysis of somatic genetic alterations in colon tumors. The unbiased nature of AP-PCR permitted to infer, from the mobility shifts observed in some fingerprint bands, the accumulation by a...
