## BACKGROUND. Microsatellite instability (MI) has been reported in some sporadic colon tumors and in cases of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). The criteria for HNPCC have not been fully defined, and clinical criteria are used to identify as many HNPCC patients as possible. To cl

In vitro cultivated cells of 28 colorectal cancers were analyzed for chromosomal abnormalities that might signal amplification of DNA, either as double minutes (DMs) or homogeneously staining chromosomal regions (HSRs). Cells derived from 18 tumors showed DMs in I0 to IOO% of all metaphases examined
## Abstract Lynch syndrome is an inherited disease resulting predominantly in colorectal cancer (CRC). The crucial cause is DNA mismatch repair (MMR) malfunction that is associated mostly with __MLH1__ or __MSH2__ germline mutations. A significant hallmark of repair defects is a high level of insta
