Aberrant 5Π CpG island methylation is an alternative mechanism of gene inactivation during the development of cancer as demonstrated for several tumor-suppressor genes. Also, marked relationship of microsatellite instability (MSI) and DNA methylation has been reported in sporadic colorectal cancer,

Sporadic cancers and familial breast cancers are characterized by an increase in genetic instability. Little is known about whether mismatch repair defects accompany this genetic instability. We investigated invasive and/or in situ breast cancers from 30 women with deleterious BRCA1/2 mutations and
Human breast-cancer specimens from 100 patients were analyzed for microsatellite instability (referred to as replication error; RER) at I 2 genomic loci on 7 chromosomes, and results were correlated with clinicopathologic characteristics. In 42 of I00 breast-cancer patients, we investigated whether
To better elucidate the role of genetic instability in the development of gastric cancer, microsatellite alterations were examined in a total of 30 gastric cancers that developed in 14 Japanese patients with multiple gastric cancers, which are considered to have possibly occurred under the same gene
