Microsatellite instability (MSI), which is recognized as an important mechanism in tumorigenesis, has been reported in familial gastric cancers (FGC). However, genetic defects responsible for this phenotype, that is, mutations in mismatchrepair genes such as hMLH1 and hMSH2, have not been detected i
