Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability is an important new form of genetic alteration that characterizes tumors of the replication error phenotype (RER+). The RER status of tumors has been determined until now by analyzing several microsatellite loci for size variations compared with matching normal DNA. This has been done by separating isotopically labeled PCR products on denaturing gels. We recently showed that deletions...
