## BACKGROUND. Widespread microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs in nearly 15% of sporadic colorectal cancers. Large bowel carcinomas with high-frequency MSI (MSI-H) (instability at Υ 30% of microsatellite loci) are believed to display distinctive pathologic features and to behave less aggressive

Endometrial cancer is the second most common malignancy in patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). The age at diagnosis of HNPCC-associated endometrial cancer is approximately 15 years younger than for sporadic endometrial cancer. Our current study was undertaken to determin
## Abstract Defects in the DNA mismatch repair proteins result in microsatellite instability and malignancy in hereditary nonβpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC). However, the role of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins and microsatellite instability (MSI) in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladde
Our previous studies of lung cancer in chromate-exposed workers (chromate lung cancer) have revealed that the frequency of replication error (RER) in chromate lung cancer is very high. We examined whether the RER phenotype of chromate lung cancer is due to an abnormality of DNA mismatch repair prote
