To study the involvement of DNA mismatch repair genes in non-small cell lung cancer, matched normal and tumoral DNA samples from 31 patients were analyzed for both LOH and microsatellite instability with 34 markers at or linked to hMLH1 (3p21), hMSH2 (2p16), hMSH3 (5q11-q13), hMSH6 (2p16), hPMS1 (2q

## Abstract The __BRCA1__ and __BRCA2__ genes are responsible for a high proportion of familial breast cancer; germline mutations in these genes confer a lifetime risk of about 70% for developing breast cancer. Most of the described deleterious mutations are small deletions or insertions that origi
Cigarette smoking is the major known risk factor for head and neck cancer. Tobacco promotes oxidative stress and enhances tissue levels of 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-G) in smokers. The presence of 8-OH-G does not impede replication but leads to an accumulation of G 3 T transversions. Recently, the gene
Cell kinetics, is a predictive parameter of breast-cancer aggressiveness, and mutations occurring in mammary tumorigenesis may favor iuncontrolled cell proliferation. In this study, cell kinetics, clinico-pathological characteristics and genetic alterations at the irrt-2, bcl-I, c-myc, c-erbB-2, and
