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
In cultured fibroblasts initiated from fresh tumor biopsies of 11 patients with thyroid tumors, 5 medullary carcinoma of the thyroid (MCT) and 6 papillary follicular, the chromosomes are relatively unstable when compared with those from control fibroblast cultures. Tumor-derived fibroblast samples s
