Abstract excerpt
The replication-error positive (RER+) phenotype characterizes tumour cells with microsatellite instability. This 'mutator phenotype' is thought to induce spread mutations throughout the genome, thus increasing the risk of tumour development. Here we analyse spontaneously arising mutations at the tetranucleotide CCGG ( Msp I recognition site), at positions 14 067-14 070 of the p53 gene sequence, in three colon...
