Human breast-cancer specimens from 100 patients were analyzed for microsatellite instability (referred to as replication error; RER) at I 2 genomic loci on 7 chromosomes, and results were correlated with clinicopathologic characteristics. In 42 of I00 breast-cancer patients, we investigated whether

Sporadic cancers and familial breast cancers are characterized by an increase in genetic instability. Little is known about whether mismatch repair defects accompany this genetic instability. We investigated invasive and/or in situ breast cancers from 30 women with deleterious BRCA1/2 mutations and
In some tumors, defects in mismatch repair enzymes lead to errors in the replication of simple nucleotide repeat segments RER+ tumors. This condition is commonly known as microsatellite instability (MSI) because of the frequent mutations of microsatellite sequences. Although the MSI phenotype is wel
## Abstract The causes and functional consequences of E‐cadherin (E‐CD) loss in breast cancer are poorly understood. E‐CD loss might act in concert with alterations in the APC/β‐catenin pathway to permit oncogenic β‐catenin signaling. To test this hypothesis, we have analyzed the presence of geneti
## Abstract Genomic instability plays a key role in hereditary non‐polyposis colorectal cancer and in a significant sub‐set of non‐hereditary colorectal tumors. Recent evidence suggests that microsatellite instability also occurs in various sub‐sets of common, non‐hereditary forms of extra‐colorect
