Abstract excerpt
Mutation of DNA mismatch repair genes has rarely been documented in sporadic gastric carcinoma with microsatellite instability (MSI). In sporadic colorectal carcinoma, hMLH1 promoter methylation associated with protein loss is found in the majority of high-frequency MSI cases. We investigated a series of 35 sporadic gastric carcinomas stratified into high-frequency MSI (MSI-H), low-frequency MSI (MSI-L) and...
