Identification of a breast tumor with microsatellite instability in a potential carrier of the hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer trait
Allelic expansion at microsatellite loci in colorectal tumor DNA indicates a genomic instability caused by defects in DNA mismatch repair. This is observed in a high proportion of tumors from individuals affected by hereditary non-polyposis colorectal carcinoma, but to a lesser extent in sporadic co...
