## Abstract Loss of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) occurs in 10β15% of sporadic colorectal cancer, is usually caused by hMLH1 hypermethylation, and has been shown to confer resistance to various chemotherapeutic reagents, including 5βfluorouracil (5βFU). We tested the hypothesis that demethylation of th
Microsatellite instability (MSI), which is recognized as an important mechanism in tumorigenesis, has been reported in familial gastric cancers (FGC). However, genetic defects responsible for this phenotype, that is, mutations in mismatchrepair genes such as hMLH1 and hMSH2, have not been detected i
