Precise assessment of microsatellite instability using high resolution fluorescent microsatellite analysis
1 Sept 1997
Abstract excerpt
The instability of microsatellite sequences dispersed in the genome has been linked to a deficiency in cellular mismatch repair. This phenotype has been frequently observed in various human neoplasms and is regarded as a major factor in tumorigenesis. To demonstrate alterations in microsatellite sequences, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and electrophoretic analysis are techniques often used. However, the...
