Abstract excerpt
The association between genetic instability in repetitive DNA domains and cancer has been reported in different types of malignancies. In this work we perform a comparative study of 29 gastric tumors with paired normal tissue using seven tetra-(FES/FPS, VWA31/A, HTPO, TH01, MBPB) and pentanucleotide (CD4, TP53) STR polymorphic markers regarding loss of heterozygosity and replication error status. Furthermore, we...
