Abstract excerpt
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency is associated with an increased mutational burden and predisposition to certain malignancies. Relatively little is known, however, about gene-specific mutation frequencies within MMR-deficient primary tumors. Thymic lymphomas from Msh2(-/-) mice were thus analyzed by using a lacI-based transgenic shuttle-phage mutation detection system. All tumors exhibited greatly elevated...
