## Background: Microsatellite instability (mi) is a frequent occurrence in endometrioid carcinoma of the endometrium (ec). several genes known to contain mononucleotide short tracts in their coding sequences (tgf-beta rii, igfiir, bax, hmsh6, and hmsh3) are likely targets for mutations in these tum

Microsatellite instability has been found preferentially in tumours associated with the hereditary non-polyposiscolorectal-cancer (HNPCC) syndrome. This phenotype, manifested as new alleles at microsatellite loci, and often the result of a defective mismatch-repair gene, is seen as allelic mobility
The correlation between tumor microsatellite instability (MSI) and the accumulation of mutations in KRAS2 and TP53 is uncertain. The authors evaluated the TP53 and KRAS2 genes for mutations in sporadic endometrial carcinomas with microsatellite instability (MSI) and matched MSI negative controls to
