Target Genes for Instability Repair-deficient Human Cancers : Toward a New Concept of Mutations at Coding Repeat Sequences in Mismatch
Because the discovery of a link between mismatch repair deficiency and sporadic or inherited human cancers characterized by microsatellite instability (MSI-H tumors), genes containing coding repeat sequences have been found to be mutated at these repeats in MSI-H tumors from different primary sites as reported in the present review. Accumulation of such alterations appears to be the main molecu...

متن کاملLong non-coding RNAs and their significance in human diseases
Protein-coding genes account for only a small fraction of the human genome and most of the genomic sequences are transcriptionally silent, but recent observations indicate significant functional elements, including non-coding protein transcripts in the human genome. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been defined as transcripts of >200 nucleotides without protein-coding capacity that perform t...
متن کاملMutation Rates of TGFBR2 and ACVR2 Coding Microsatellites in Human Cells with Defective DNA Mismatch Repair
Microsatellite instability promotes colonic tumorigenesis through generating frameshift mutations at coding microsatellites of tumor suppressor genes, such as TGFBR2 and ACVR2. As a consequence, signaling through these TGFbeta family receptors is abrogated in DNA Mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient tumors. How these mutations occur in real time and mutational rates of these human coding sequences h...
متن کاملEvolution of instability at coding and non-coding repeat sequences in human MSI-H colorectal cancers.
A number of human genes containing coding mononucleotide repeat sequences are particularly prone to mutations in tumors with defects in mismatch repair (MMR) genes (MSI-H cancers). In a large series of MSI-H colorectal tumors, we looked for mutations in 25 coding repeats contained in eight genes already known to be mutated in these cancers or in 17 other genes with an expected role in carcinoge...
