Abstract excerpt
A genome-wide instability has been found in almost all analyzed malignant tumors from patients with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), and in a subgroup of sporadic (non-inherited) cancers of the same type. This mutator phenotype was initially seen as novel alleles at microsatell...
