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
Microsatellite instability in a subset of colorectal cancers from North America, Europe and Japan has been reported. We examined 88 colorectal cancers from Turkish patients. Five different microsatellite loci (I mono-and 4 dinucleotide repeat regions) were tested. Eight tumors displayed replication
## 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
