Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is a dominantly inherited syndrome linked to DNA-mismatch-repair (MMR) gene defects, which also account for microsatellite instability (MSI) in tumour tissues. Diagnosis is based mainly on family history, according to widely accepted criteria (Amste

Myf-3 is the human homologue of the murine Myo-D1 gene involved in muscle-cell differentiation. Using Southern blot analysis, we examined methylation of Myf-3 in histologically normal colonic mucosae, adenomas and carcinomas from a large series of patients with primary colorectal cancer. Hypermethyl
Microsatellites may show loss of heterozygosity as well as instability of the repeats. We examined 22 different microsatellites in 14 bladder tumours (7 grade II non-invasive, 7 grade III/IV invasive) and found altered CA repeat length compared with leukocytes, indicating instability, in several mic
DNA and chromosomal instabilities are thought to promote colorectal carcinogenesis. Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency affects DNA-sequence integrity, resulting in microsatellite instability (MI). Tumor aneuploidy (AN) has been shown to reflect underlying chromosomal instability (CI). This study aimed
Gastric cancers are rarely diagnosed before the age of 40 years and the incidence reaches a peak during the 7th decade in the general population. A molecular mechanism of early tumor onset may be determined by comparing microsatellite instability (MSI), indicative of error-prone mismatch repair, and
## BACKGROUND. Patients with metachronous multiple colorectal carcinomas have been reported to have a higher frequency of a family history of colorectal carcinoma, associated colorectal adenomas, and extracolonic malignancies. These clinicopathologic factors also are considered to be related to th
