## 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

Tumorigenesis has been shown to proceed through a series of genetic alterations involving protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. However, the investigation of genomic instability of microsatellites has disclosed a new mechanism for human carcinogenesis, which is involved not only in hereditary n
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 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
