Tumor multiplicity is a hallmark of hereditary cancers: in the colon-rectum multiple tumors represent 5-10% of all colorectal cancer cases. A portion of these cases belongs to hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), a genetic cancer syndrome due to mismatch repair (MMR) gene mutations, p

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
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in chromosome 6 in human squamous cervical carcinomas was analyzed in the long and short arms of the chromosome using 3 pairs of primers each. In all cases, normal adjacent tissue was used as control. Among 51 cases analyzed, we identified LOH or microsatellite instabili
Background and Objectives: Microsatellite instability (MIN) is an indirect marker of globally defective DNA mismatch repair in the neoplastic cells of cancer patients. Chordomas are rare, primary skeletal malignancies for which few characteristic molecular genetic markers have been identified. Is MI
Microsatellite instability (MSI) has been reported to occur in a wide variety of sporadic tumours, such as colorectal and gastric cancers. MSI positivity has been associated with a particular clinico-pathologic profile, including the presence of abundant lymphoid infiltration, poor differentiation a
