Abstract excerpt
The study of the multiple functions of mismatch repair genes in humans is being facilitated by the use of human tumor cell lines carrying defined MMR gene mutations. Such cell lines have elevated spontaneous mutation rates and may accumulate mutations in other genes, some of which could be causally related to the phenotypes of these cells. One approach to establish a cause-effect relationship between a MMR gene...
