Our previous studies of lung cancer in chromate-exposed workers (chromate lung cancer) have revealed that the frequency of replication error (RER) in chromate lung cancer is very high. We examined whether the RER phenotype of chromate lung cancer is due to an abnormality of DNA mismatch repair prote

Germline alterations in human DNA mismatch repair genes are associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Mutation analysis of the genes reveals carriers with a high risk of colorectal cancer, who will benefit from surveillance. We wanted to find the best predictive parameter of
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is frequently associated with inherited mutation in one of four DNA mismatch repair genes. Somatic mutations in the same genes are also found in a subset of sporadic colorectal cancers. A defect in DNA mismatch repair results in an RER (replication e
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
Forty-three sporadic gastric cancers were analyzed with regard to whether mutations of simple repeated sequences in the transforming growth factor fi type II receptor ( T p -I / ) gene are associated with microsatellite instability (MSI) and gastric carcinogenesis. In 12 ofthe 43 cancers (28%), MSI
DNA mismatch repair is of considerable scientific and medical importance because of its essential role in maintaining genomic integrity, and its association with hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). Germline mutations in five mismatch repair genes (MLH1, MSH2, PMS1, PMS2, and MSH6) have be
