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: Few studies have focused on the presence and significance of microsatellite instability (msi) in gastric polyps, and the results on record are conflicting. the aim of the current study was to address this issue, taking into consideration the 2 main types of gastric polyps, the coexis
Previous cytogenetic studies have indicated that a subset of large bowel adenomas have distal I p deletions. We addressed this question by examining 70 sporadic polyps (63 adenomas, 5 hyperplastic polyps, and 2 polyps of undetermined histology) from 55 patients for alterations at eight loci on the s
