Abstract excerpt
The comparative typing of matched tumor and blood DNAs at dinucleotide repeat (microsatellite) loci has revealed in tumor DNA the presence of alleles that are not observed in normal DNA. The occurrence of these additional alleles is possibly due to replication errors (RERs). Although this observation has led to the recognition of a subtype of colorectal cancer with a high incidence of RERs (caused by a deficiency...
