Abstract excerpt
The spectrum of mutations was determined at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) locus in the human uterine tumor cell line HEC-1-A which is defective in the mismatch repair gene hPMS2. The mutation frequency at the hprt locus in HEC-1-A was about two orders higher than that in wild type repair-proficient cells. The fifty-eight mutations detected were exclusively point mutations, with...
