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
## 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
