Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability (MSI) characterizes the hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer syndrome but is also found in sporadic tumors. Frameshifts in microsatellites found in the coding regions (CDRs) of the TGFbeta1-RII, IGFIIR, hMSH3, hMSH6, and BAX genes indicate that MSI is involved in t...
