During a follicle centre response, the immunoglobulin genes are subjected to a hypermutation mechanism which introduces predominantly single base changes, non-randomly, into the immunoglobulin V region (IgV) genes. B cells with mutated IgV genes are then selected according to the affinity of the enc

A vital process in maintaining a low genetic error rate is the removal of mismatched bases in DNA.

Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominantly inherited cancer predisposition which is linked to heterozygous mutations in mismatch repair genes. HNPCC tumour cells, in which the remaining wild-type copy of the mismatch repair gene is inactivated, display instability of mic
